Vroeger heb ik ook tapijten gemaakt en nu poets ik het textielatelier. Je zou kunnen zeggen dat ik terug ben

(English: I Used To Make Carpets, And Now I Clean The Textile Workshop. You Could Say That I’m Back.) Exhibition and assembly on care and maintenance at LUCA School of Arts, campus Ghent organized by Hana Miletic, Sarah Késenne and Stijn Van Dorpe in collaboration with the cleaning staff and students.

Reading Room #37: 09/12, 18-20:30h
Cleaning Assembly: 18/12, 10:30h

Through their research and education project School of Equals, Sarah Késenne and Stijn Van Dorpe explore the role of cleaning and the position of cleaners at the art school where they teach. They believe that cleaning is a core task of the school, as well as part of the practice of artists. Therefore, it is important to bring this work out of invisibility and aspire to respectful relationships with those who perform it. From these thoughts around care and maintenance, an exhibition is set up and a Cleaning Assembly takes place.

With the participation of: Sara Boumkwo, Sofia Caesar, Dan Xin Hao, Sarah Késenne, Hana Miletic, Stijn Van Dorpe, Temene Tomson, Elif Akin, Niculina Akgöl, Ilknur Tûrkovz, Fadime Safak, Dilek Cankaya, Durna Tilki, Eleanor Jacques, Louise Cremers, Fleur Triest, Joana Martins de Carvalho, Caini Jin, Marina Bueno Arrufat, Arwen Olivier, Sule Nur Eryuruk, Milla Slangen, Lisa Gautama, Veronica Losonczi and many others.
