From new-urban to deep-urban

Flanders Arts Institute keeps an eye on the grassroot initiatives that emerge in the urban fabric. These kinds of initiatives are indispensable to maintaining a rich arts landscape and developing a rich, interconnected community in our Flemish cities.

How do deep-urban initiatives arise and develop?

We examined initiatives in different cities that are developing between domains, different communities and urban developments, out of sight of established circuits. Who do they themselves regard as an embodiment of deep-urban creation? What is their role in the ecosystem of the arts and in wider society?
