BUILDING A COLLECTIVE GLOSSARY: SACRIFICE IN ART PRACTICES
Thursday 15/10, 14:30 - 16:30h
At: De Rinck
Dapperheidsplein 7 Place de la Vaillance 1070 Anderlecht

How do the words we use shape the way we work?

Through a series of workshops, Off-Centre invites art workers to unpack recurring words that emerged during the collective’s tours since 2025. By creating a space for dialogue and exchange, each workshop explores how collective knowledge can be documented and preserved, while responding to the issue of isolation within the artistic community. The experiences and reflections shared throughout these sessions will feed into a collective glossary — a map of words offering definitions rooted in the diverse realities of art workers’ practices and working conditions.
