BXL. YOU. US
Art Co' is a social cohesion project launched by MOVE (Molenbeek Vivre Ensemble) to bring people closer to contemporary art. The aim was to encourage encounters between people from the neighbourhood on both sides of the canal through the co-construction of an art installation in the public space.
BSL. YOU. US. was the first project of a series of three interventions in total that took place between 2019 and 2021. In total we organized 8 workshops around our mobile device, the Farmtruck. While the first workshops were to get to know each other and the site, we later experimented upon a text written in every mother tongue of the participants. In total, 75 sentences in multiple different languages were written, tested and implemented. As such, the project represents not only the participants but also Brussels as a whole: a diversity of cultures which make the city.
