ABOUT THIS SITE >>> This site is a blog as well as an archive: It gives visibility to the continues working of radical_hope & radical_house and holds documentation of the research projects Distraction As Discipline and OTΗOE - works for passers-by.

radical_hope (since 2010) creates and holds frameworks for artistic research/es & co-creation/s.

radical_house (since 2020), next to being a long term project on notions of ownership, privacy and privilege, provides a physical place in Brussels: here people can tempralrily cohabit with the permanent users of the house in order to work, rest or find shelter.

Distraction As Discipline (2015 - 2019) is an investigation into enactivist principles in art and education (research trajectory at KASK School of Arts Ghent 2016-19). It considers the potential of performance art and pedagogy in general, in resisting the current and massive desubjectivation, by critically reclaiming both, attention for the moment and participation in a process.

OTΗOE - works for passers-by (2012 - 2014) was the development of radical_hope's artistic practice in the city and questioned how and by whom this practice (and its bodily, social and economical aspects) is perceived. The title refers to the public of a city and to how we encounter and register most things on our way through the city: Out of The Corner of Our Eyes. OTΗOE.

Between the 12 and 22 December 2022, at radical_house, Anouk Llaurens - in collaboration with Irina Lavrinovic, Sonia Si Ahmed and Julien Bruneau - will develop 𝘛𝘙𝘌𝘔𝘖𝘙 .
𝘛𝘙𝘌𝘔𝘖𝘙 is a poetic and embodied documentation practice that wishes to share the experience of a paradox: the act of documenting poetic experiences through dancing. 𝘛𝘙𝘌𝘔𝘖𝘙 can also be seen as a ritual for oblivion, a process to live, revisit and dissolve memories to give space for the new.

These questions will be addressed through contemplative, calligraphic, and choreographic practices.
