Flanders Arts Institute engages in international working visits to cultivate long-term, sustainable, meaningful relationships, and reciprocal international engagements, thus this working visit was shaped by this commitment to depth, longevity, and mutual support.
The visit is conceived not as a one-off project, but as a step in a slow process of re-politicising our own practices and embedding our international work within broader civil society frameworks.
