“The voice does not mask… It communicates the uniqueness of the one who emits it, and can be recognised by those to whom one speaks.” – Adriana Caverero –

The Post Collective is an autonomous platform for co-creation, co-learning and cultural activism, created by people with different means and access to artistic production and education due to their legal status.

We wish to share personal and collective stories that originate from our experinces within different social and political systems, and the landscape of Art institutions. Stories do not just show who we are but also what we have in common with others; not just who we think we are but also what shared circumstances shape our lives and our interdependent destinies.

Our experience, stories and ongoing reflections are formalised into a working document: the Paperless Art Alliance Contract (PAACT), a set of mutually agreed conditions from which we would like to work within and beyond the collective. As part of our residency at BBOT in Brussels during the season 2023-2024, we have invited audiences to further develop the PAACT with us: We will continue the discussion at Kunsthal Mechelen, Roodkapje and La Loge in the form of a public assembly. We invite you to enter our common space and contribute to our reflection by sharing yours.

The working group of The Post Collective are: Taziri Al Omrani, Fareed Aziz, Marcus Bergner, Maarten De Vrieze, Firewyni Getahun, Sawsan Maher, Hanan Maher, Mirra Markhaëva, Golnesa Rezanezhad, Lazara Rosell, Elli Vassalou and Souheila Yildiz.
