Abstract

Since 2021, a collaboration has been built between Fontys Academy of the Arts and the community centre Wij West in Tilburg West, in the framework of the professorship Artistic Connective Practices. Through residencies conducted by international artist-researchers from different disciplines, this collaboration focuses on how arts could connect residents of the area to themselves, others, and their neighbourhood. The text elaborates on six points of interest that emerged from the project regarding the way art institutions could work with agents from civil society and citizens.
