Learning often begins around shared gestures, conversations, and moments of gathering.

One of the first collective gestures of this group of art educators was the making of a colorful tablecloth assembled from pieces of fabric. Arranged and stitched the tablecloth has accompanied the students throughout their studies, becoming a surface for notes, impromptu observations, traces of conversations, and shared moments. More than a simple object, it gradually turned into both an affective archive and a testimony to the many encounters that shaped their time in class. 

Rooted in this process, this group of students now bring their graduate research together for

one day at MELLY exploring questions such as: What might a space that holds and nurtures such multiplicity and expresses such ways of learning look like? How can we weave spaces of

belonging for others into institutional structure and shared community life? The works on

display and the programme of public activities engage with these questions by creating a space

that nurtures conversations, encounters, and situated and embodied forms of learning, open to

all. 

Participating students: Axel Coumans, Mariz Cortez, Alice Degelow, Heidi van Gorp,

Femke van Heijningen, Ana Rita Leitão, Paulina Martina, Marie Panken, Carlo Pareti, lisa peake (lotus), Mariana Jorge Dos Santos, Maite Vanhellemont.

Guest tutor: Angela Serino
