International Program Probability of Exchange

After a successful first edition of the program: Probability of Exchange, the Flanders Arts Institute is launching the invitation for a second edition in 2025.
 

For this year's program, they aim to look at multiple voices & participation within the practices of artistic programming and (inter)national collaborations. We want to reflect collectively what a regenerative way of working is/can be and how co-creation can be a method to democratise artistic decision making and foster inclusivity.
The principle of this program is to invite 6 - 8 professionals from different contexts, organisations and positions on two occasions for a 3 day gathering in Flanders.
The first gathering will take place 12 - 14 May 2025 within the context of Openbare Werken. The second moment will take place in Brussels in November (exact dates TBD)
 
During these gatherings they delve into sharing our different practices, tackling new perspectives on co-creation & transnational collaborations, open discussions as well as meeting local artists and different local organisations.
The core of the program is dedicated to collective exchange, sharing experiences and realities of our local contexts, resources and different approaches/strategies. We hope that the program can foster a support of sustainable collaborations and engagements.

What's on offer:

- Invitation to participate in two 3 day gatherings in Ghent & Brussels that will be
tailored as much as possible to the participants.
- Meeting with local artists, programmers & organisations
- Cover of accommodation, food and activities of the program.
For each of the gatherings, we can extend 3 travel grants of 300€ each for the
participants who can’t or only partially pay for their travel to Belgium.
- Cover of local travel
- Support in organising and arranging travel, visa etc.
- Possibility to arrange for individual meetings with specific local professionals
