๐ซง wpZimmer x MAP x Enrica Camporesi
We got to know Enrica ten years ago when she presented her own Work in Progress. More recently, Enrica accompanied us throughout the WIPCOOP 2025 season;making live interpretations of the WIPs & using drawing and creating as a way to connect with the audience & reflect together on the presented work – an incredibly valuable addition to our methods โค๏ธ
During our residency at wpZimmer, Enrica joined us one more time; keeping us and the artists company. All the while keeping track of her busy mind, the Italian radio show in her headphones, the daily devastating news in the background, the buzzing energy of wpZimmer, the inspiring conversations with fellow artists, Zimmers and passersby through drawing, painting and writing.
She presented the result: Stil leven. Persoverzicht during the sharing session and during WIPCOOP x Pro x Pro; which is still on view! If you stop by, ring the bell to take a peek.
Ps: Enrica wants to continue this wonderful work. Sooo… Do you have room for a small table for this lovely artist? And are you interested in a visual overview of the energy/vibes/atmosphere/days/…. at your home? Then send Enrica a message ๐
Shout out to Tim for his help in setting up Enrica’s installation ๐

In addition to Enrica, we were joined for the last week by Barcelona-based Judith Pujol who is researching sex work and found inspiration here in Antwerp’s Schipperskwartier. One Look-ers Fanny Van Geel, Claire Deniau and Xavier Bascho-George also came to immerse themselves in their WIP for two days, with Lila Magnin as coach. And the first week of February, Paula Paulowska dove back into her artistic work after a break. So nice to be surrounded by inspiration, motivation and creative energy. Wondering where all this is going!
WIPCOOP x Pro x Pro 2026
Our last week at wpZimmer was all about preparing WIPCOOP x Pro x Pro, a day where we put work that came after WIPCOOP in the spotlight.
- Anastassya Savitsky presented part of her WIP Hold the House;
- Louai Hashem presented 20 minutes of Is het nog ver?; and
- Farida performed excerpts from her monologue in progress Woorden van de Nachtreiziger.
We started the day full of energy thanks to Lila Magnin, who loosened us all up. Between performances, the artists who presented their work as well as Alphonse Eklou Uwantege, Nicolas Valdyslav and Enrica Camporesi talked about their work with Mulanga. Meanwhile, the audience could browse through a brochure full of finished work (download the brochure here!), put together especially for the occasion. And, of course, there was plenty of room for connection, good food and good conversation (and a drink or two afterwards).
Thank you all for coming โค๏ธ
A big thanks also to wpZimmer, for your warm welcome, tasty Tuesdays lunches, great talks & technical support from Tim โค๏ธ Merci merci merci merci and see you soon!
