The Green Corridor Brussels is a place for active thinking located in Saint-Gilles.
Our situated practices and activities focus on collaborative approaches to knowledge generation and exchange within the locality and beyond. We aim to challenge what art, design and spatial practices can be and do for a wide range of audiences, including researchers, artists, architects, design thinkers, social activists, practitioners and the local communities of Saint-Gilles.

Mission
The Green Corridor places peer-to-peer dialogue and collective knowing-by-doing at the heart of its approach. It aims to initiate the development of a collaborative cultural programme that fosters possibilities for exploration and community-building through situated practices.

Programme
Our activities focus on collaborative, process-driven approaches and practices that generate knowledge. Instead of thematising topics of contemporary interest, we understand cultural programming as the crossing and friction of diverse creative and knowledge conditions, enabling spaces for collective imagination to emerge. In this spirit, a monthly residency format is organised with the intention of overlapping knowledge and practices.

Residency
The monthly residents – researchers, artists, designers, architects, curators, writers, social activists, etc. – can become part of a transient community: exchanging, conversing and learning in a supportive and research-intensive atmosphere. We create situations where people, objects, materials and discourses converge through diverse curatorial gestures, including public discussions, screenings, exhibitions, research processes, performances, books and publication launches.

Location
The Green Corridor invites residents to draw from the situatedness at the Rue de Bosnie in Saint-Gilles. A vibrant, urban condition, contextualised by locals with roots in Portuguese, Brazilian, Spanish, Moroccan, Latin American, Belgian, and Polish cultures, living together in Brussels. This relational and interconnected reality serves as the basis for our activities, informing our engagement with diverse local and global temporalities.
