In 2024, our Meyboom community was forced out of our Pacheco 34 location by big-finance powers. Unfortunately, our Collective Statement and outreach to political actors hasn't helped. From our small temporary location (Rue Lambert Crickxstraat 17-2, Anderlecht) we're looking for a new space where we can stay for longer, and possibly share with more collectives.
Meyboom is an artist run-space that brings together a community of individuals and collectives working in different fields that formed over the years since 2013. The broad variety of practices of our community gives us the chance to exchange, support each other, and extend this spirit out to the city. Meyboom is both a space for artists to work but also a space from which the myriad of interdisciplinary practices engage with the local context of the city of Bruxelles and beyond.

Film was labelled "the seventh art" at the begin of the XXth century after a manifesto by Riciotto Canudo, one of first film theoretitians. He saw first cinema as a new art, a "fusion" art: "a superb conciliation of the Rhythms of Space and the Rhythms of Time". Fusion Cinema is small-scale non profit platform devoted to film research and production to further explore the fusion of arts whithin cinema. Its flagship project, "Pages of Album" is signed by filmmakers Erik Parys and Pablo Diartinez (also plastic artist and graphic designer). Erik and Pablo have been a creative tandem since 1999 and they also have a commercial name "C U studio" under which they take comissions for better known agencies.

My practice is both multidisciplinary and research based. It roots in collective collaborations, practices of encounter, questions on participation, scenography and the design of environments that enable dialogues. My mediums include performance, audio recording, podcasts, pedagogy, wood construction, activism, practices of horizontal governance and writing. My projects focus on vulnerability, intimacy and social ecologies.
Since the beginning of my masters at Kask, I was intent on joining or starting a collective and investigating different collective tools and practices. I was able to begin this research during my internship with Constant vzw where I was given the task to coordinate the updating of their âCollaborative Guidelinesâ. I gained an understanding of the power of guidelines in creating respectful and ethically engaged environments. Since then I became a core group member of School of Love, a collective that opens questions and initiates practices of critical love in pedagogical contexts. Moreover, I joined State of the Arts (SOTA), a small organization that does activism in the Flemish art sector, to support their progression into a structure that can host both a laboratory for activist/artistic practices as well as being a countervailing power for the Flemish government.
In these collectives, I commit myself to practicing horizontal governance and thus I research and experiment facilitation tools, collective decision making, imagining collaborative organizational structures that distribute power, include peopleâs skills and limits as well as practice care.
