“The voice does not mask… It communicates the uniqueness of the one who emits it, and can be
recognised by those to whom one speaks.” – Adriana Caverero –
Assembly at La Loge, Brussels

The Post Collective is an autonomous platform for co-creation, co-learning and cultural activism,
created by people with different means and access to artistic production and education due to their legal status.
We wish to share personal and collective stories that originate from our experiences within different
social and political systems, and the landscape of Art institutions. Stories do not just show who we
are but also what we have in common with others; not just who we think we are but also what shared
circumstances shape our lives and our interdependent destinies.
Our experience, stories and ongoing reflections are formalized into a working document: the
Paperless Art Alliance Contract (PAACT), a set of mutually agreed conditions from which we would
like to work within and beyond the collective. As part of our residency at BBOT in Brussels during
the season 2023-2024, we have invited audiences to further develop the PAACT with us, and we will
continue the discussion in the form of a public assembly. We invite you to enter our common space and contribute to our reflection by sharing yours.
The working group of The Post Collective are: Taziri Al Omrani, Fareed Aziz, Marcus Bergner,
Maarten De Vrieze, Firewyni Getahun, Sawsan, Inanna Nasr, Mirra Markhaeva, Golnesa
Rezanezhad, Lazara Rosell, Elli Vassalou and Souheila Yildiz
