HECTOLITRE
HECTOLITRE
Residence of reflection
HECTOLITRE is a project in creation in Brussels (BE). A space open to artists, artisans and thinkers who wish to deepen their research, experiment transdisciplinarity or connect their practice to the neighborhood. As the HECTOLITRE is growing as a community, possibility and exchange, it is crucial to catalyze the process of reflections from the very beginning, and let it co-created the memory and identity of the project and its neighborhood. In this context, they are launching a residency of reflection, dedicated to thinkers, conceptual artists, writers, and critics, willing to let their personal thoughts and practice reflect on the following challenges: connecting the parallel communities coexisting in the neighborhood of Marolles; creating a memory of relations and exchanges and placing the artist within the community and strengthening a collectivity within the art.
