Kick-off trajectory multi-voicedness

On Tuesday 3 March, anyone interested in a multi-voiced arts field is welcome to contribute to concrete ideas for the future.

In January, fourteen future thinkers developed seven approaches to polyphony during an intensive two-day workshop. During this kick-off, you will have the opportunity to discuss these approaches, explore them in greater depth, provide feedback and, if you wish, put yourself forward as a candidate to further develop them in the course of 2026.

  1. Rethinking education: balancing power, knowledge and voice
  2. (Re)distribution systems
  3. Connection: polyphony in practice
  4. Buzzword or lever? Polyphony clarified
  5. Pay the audience
  6. Collaborating beyond capitalism
  7. Unite the artistic and audience teams

Would you like to help shape the future of this project? Be sure to register for the kick-off and join the discussion.

Multi-voicedness trajectory

In 2025 Flanders Arts Institute is launching a three-year project on multi-voicedness in the arts. During this period, we will work together with (hands-on) experts and committed artists, citizens and organisations – inside and outside the arts field – to develop tools to achieve a multi-voiced arts field. In 2025, we identified barriers and opportunities. In 2026 we will translate them into concrete tools.
