Setting the Table used food and gathering as a curatorial methodology for rethinking institutional access. Taking the table — who sets it, who sits, who clears — as both subject and structure, the programme proposed the exhibition space as a site of hospitality rather than passive reception.
Charbel Alkhoury & Monica Basbous traced how a WhatsApp gaming group became a mutual aid network during Lebanon’s 2019-2020 crises; Pushing Hands and ar kiều bỉ wove together textile, mapping, and food to animate Vietnamese-Belgian community archives; Lou Cocody-Valentino assembled domestic fabrics into fragmented memory landscapes. Across the works, diasporic experience, food, and collective memory were treated not as content to display but as practices of relation.

‘yellow brick, blue brick, perpetually’ connects the site-specific history of the planned residential area ‘De Ravelijn’ to a broader idea of enclosure: of land, but also of knowledge, of bodies, and of our relationship to nature and to one another.
Five artists, Mounir Eddib, Helena, Samuel White, Angelina Nonaj and Alaa Abu Asad (علاء أبو أسعد), present works that respond to the neighbourhood's history. The works reflect on acts of division, measurement and repetition, and on how these shape our lives in ways we often don't see.
In the coming weeks, a public programme will include performances by Angelina Nonaj and Alaa Abu Asad (dates to be announced). In it, the artists reimagine the neighbourhood's former identity as a ‘woonschool’ (residential school) as a place to unlearn, question the politics of space and restore connections that enclosure has broken.
This project is supported by the city of Maastricht & Mondriaan Fonds.

To Weave a Story set out to diversify not only who our stories are about, but how stories are formed and told. The artworks became story elements: props, characters, natural life and backdrops. In a workshop aimed at queering modes of storytelling, these elements were taken apart and recombined. The outcomes formed the basis for performances and oral storytelling sessions, so the exhibition's narrative kept changing throughout the day. Each hour, a new story wove the same elements together differently.

As ecological mutation entangles our realities ever further, the Western urge to divide and classify grows increasingly incompatible with what this moment demands. Over the course of one evening, Cosmovisions brought sculpture and performance together to explore alternatives to the Western division between man and nature, and the former's mastery over the latter.
A white figure stares into a mirror. Sharp fangs cling around a poem. A tail, like a horse's, wags slowly as they step through space.
Throughout the evening, the linearity of time and progress was set aside in favour of a reading in which past, present and future coexist. Reconnecting with forgotten practices and knowledges of spirituality, magic and the natural world, the artists took a position akin to that of the shaman: negotiating with the invisible and mediating with the realms of animals and nature. In doing so, they sought, if only temporarily, to reveal what the current cultural paradigm suppresses.
A passage of rite, an offering beneath treelike plastic structures. A heart-shaped pendant. Dry branches snapping. Dissonant spinal movements, mimicry.

Home Sweet Home brought eight participants together to explore what a home is, or could be, and to look for alternative forms of kinship. Performance work and edible sculptures by the invited artists opened up the communal side of the home, and a collective reading gave space to reflect on it. Using objects brought by the participants and materials prepared by the curators, the group then built a home together.
This collectively built home later opened to the public as an exhibition. For a moment, the private became public: the home turned into a meeting ground and a place for collective reflection.
Performance: Adriana Joëlle

Their practice asks how material things and immaterial systems shape the way we come together: which relations they reinforce, and which they allow us to renegotiate. Beijers explores this through counter-institutional infrastructures: small, self-organised structures that challenge dominant cultural logics and redistribute agency. Working collectively, they question individual authorship and the regimes of ownership that have eroded the commons.
This takes shape in decentralised formats of gathering, from dinner performances to collective readings, in which care is a method rather than a metaphor. As chair of B32 Artspace, they initiated and coordinate Anti-Class, an experimental residency and summer school grounded in Harney and Moten's notion of study, where participants shape the curriculum together through shared meals and collective activities. They also host a monthly commons café in their home, an informal space for mutual support and humanitarian fundraising.
