During a residency in the small Flemish village of Bekegem, we collected impressions, anecdotes, stories and dialogues together with the residents we met during our stay. During the festival weekend of Kunstenfestival Plan B in the year 2018 we broadcasted radio, live from a bus stop on the town square. The frequency was only available within village borders, this way creating something personal and ephemeral – specially for the residents of Bekegem.

Monday May 22, 2023 W-Street (plot points and non-fictions)

W-Street (plot points and non-fictions) tells the story of an almost fictional character (A.) in a hardly fictional street (W-Street). It is a relational account of a neighbourhood that became a development project: perpetually unfinished, continually overwriting its many pasts. It “stitches together imperfectly” this specific urban history with musings on remembering and forgetting, public art and memorials, cinematic references and feminist theory; as alignments and disjunctions when you turn a corner, or a page.
