Work in Progress: WIPCOOP Ghent 2025

WIPCOOP, the Work In Progress Cooperative of MESTIZO ARTS PLATFORM, returns to CAMPO victoria!

At WIPCOOP, Aminata Soumaré, Shivadas De Schrijver, Hannah Jamin Zaouad and Aday Morales will show thirty minutes from their Works in Progress. Expect a rich palette of themes, media and voices: from dancing sounds and hushed rhythms to echoes of a sectarian past, the downside of tourism and music that was once silenced . ..

After the presentations, the creators will engage in discussions with dramaturgs, workshops, producers and programmers about their work and possible forms of support. At the same time, the audience can participate in roundtable discussions and there will be short pitches from other exciting creators.

WIPCOOP is more than an annual event: it is an ongoing development trajectory in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Leuven. The goal? Making new artistic work visible, encouraging dialogue and bringing artists and organizations together to further develop this work and bring it to the public.
