TENT: A School of Performative Practices, is a space of possibility and imagination, which invites (almost) all inside. It is a temporary, mobile space of mutual learning and collective imagination. On June 1st, Pankaj Tiwari joins wpZimmer with TENT, inviting artists, curators and academics.

In the week of May 22nd, we welcome artist-researcher Orlando Vieira Francisco in residency. For a week; he’ll be working on his current project ‘From the Top of Mountains We Can See Invisible Monuments”.

Meet Loucka Fiagan.

Rapper, abstract and electronic music producer, spoken word artist, playwright and performer. While having tentacles in multiple disciplines, Loucka is also co-founder of the experimental hip hop band The Eskaton 115 with Vinco Zierowan, and of the multimedia performative duo Wedntknwyet with Oscar Cassamajor; and a member of the publishing house of young writers: le Mot:Lame.

With only a few weeks left before the second Antwerp edition of Beyond the Black Box, we’re all impatient to discover all the artists and collectives that shape the festival. Unravel the full programme from Thursday May 11th until Sunday May 14th and get your tickets to your favorite performances!

The 8th edition of Dag van de Dans is here and wpZimmer will be one of the many corners in Flanders where you can experience contemporary dance.

On Saturday April 29th, Mary Szydlowska opens Cleaning Oracles to an audience during a work-in-progress presentation. Cleaning Oracles forms a performative research space, in which one can speculate on oracles and future telling potential of cleaning.

While in residency, Adrijana fantasizes about the place and a specific environment where the different artistic concerns can be met, reflecting on the proposals for co-learning and sharing artistic processes that she has developed in the past years: card-reading about artistic anxieties, workshop on horror and nail art reading sessions.

We rely on words to communicate and to understand each other. At the same time, words play an important role in how we understand ourselves.

Kevin Fay brings ‘Conversing with Masculinity’ to wpZimmer for a second time! This time, the artist and researcher opens up the residency space to an audience, hosting three workshops. In an intersectional practice offering a safe, open space, we read, we listen, we play, we create, and we move – carefully loosening up strictures that language all too often imposes.

Eli Steffen and Sophie Guisset as joined by her team Enis Turan and Cee Füllemann are both new in residency at wpZimmer for two weeks. Both Sophie and Elioa are focusing on developing new work: Sophie Guisset with Vanilla and Elioa Steffen with Psalm for the Monstrous.

Conceptual artist, curator and creative producer Sandra Sara Oklobdzija is joining us in residency to continue working on “The School of Two-Sided Integration”.

As an artist, artivist and researcher, Sara is mostly interested in creating, but also generating and documenting the process of community-making through engaged artistic practice.
