WIPCOOP – the Work In Progress Cooperative of MESTIZO ARTS PLATFORM – is a unique collaboration in the arts sector in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Mechelen and Leuven.
The main goal? From the strength of the cooperative, make new artistic work visible, create dialogue around it and match artists and organizations to be able to further develop and play and spread this work when finished.
It is making space for new voices, stories, forms and languages in the performing arts. An inter-city co-production, in which the art sector keeps its finger on the pulse of what is developing in the rich breeding ground of our cities as well as a network in which artists find support in developing their work. So a win-win.
