The Brussels Artist-Run Network core team invites you to join them in Antwerp for a day of conversations, visits, and informal exchanges.
✼ When: Thursday 23 April 2026
13:30 Conversation at MORPHO
15:00 Start Artist-Run Tour
✼ Where: MORPHO, Ploegstraat 27
✼ There is space for 15 people
The conversation brings us together to reflect on how artist-run networks emerge and what they make possible. We begin with a presentation by the Brussels Artist-Run Network, sharing how BARN operates, the tools they use, the website, the team, and the directions the network is taking.
Drawing from other cities and contexts, they will open up a discussion on international artist-run networks and what they could enable.
From there, BARN moves into a broader conversation around the Antwerp scene, including developments around M HKA, and reflects on informal and self-organised structures. How do initiatives position themselves? Is there a desire to continue these exchanges and shape more sustainable collaboration?
We will also look at BARN’s open-source website as a shared tool: could this infrastructure be extended to other contexts and future collaborations?
