Photoalbum WIPCOOP 2023 // Work In Progress BXL

A recap of a special edition of Work In Progress at KVS! With a visual report by photographer Victoriano Moreno.

19 & 20 October Justine Theizen, Nabil Ennassouh, Hafsa Aqqal, Augusto Pedraza, Eyas Almokdad, Sara Manubens & Ves Liberta (Barcelona), Wang Ping – Hsiang (Berlin) and Melisa Diktas (Amsterdam) showed where they stand with the development of new work. During the breaks, Manu Moreau moderated the Artist Talks with the artists and special guests, including Yannick Bras (Impulsion Dance), Yasmine Deroui, Audrey Leboutte (Zinnema), Gerardo Salinas (KVS & Mestizo Collective), Eli Mathieu Bustos, Işıl Bıçakçı, Junior Akwety, Carla Parcianello andYusuf Mufutau.

Behind the scenes, Mike Van Alfen guided Feedforward discussions with the artists who had just presented, and a group of cultural workers (including producers, programmers, dramaturges, choreographers and workshops).

In the evening, we continued networking with artists and a group of invited guests from abroad.

There is no doubt that these were inspiring days! We returned home full of impatience to explore the next steps together with the artists & partners!
