According to their website, the Antwerp-based group \\u201cwpZimmer is an international workspace for the arts, with a focus on performance, dance and hybrid artistic practices. The organisation revolves around the needs of the artists, their desire to research or create and the development of their skills and practices\\u201d.

They \\u201cbelieve that shared governance addresses the systemic questions dominating our society. It\\u2019s looking for a new sustainable way to be together and to become inclusive. It\\u2019s an act of listening and sensing, rather than a process of claiming. We\\u2019re not there yet. It\\u2019s evolving and unfinished by nature\\u2026 Rethinking the way we live and work together is a collective practice, shared between artists, institutions and others. We gather around the question what can we do together that we can not do alone? Can the power of collective action move mountains?\\u201d

In this episode Owen Kelly talks to two members of the collective, Helga Baert and Du\\u0161ica Dra\\u017ei\\u0107, about wpZimmer and the project Topoi 2022, which they have both co-curated and runs throughout June.
