MOBILISING WORDS and TOOLKIT are two publications developed as part of the ON MOBILISATION project (2023-2025) that emerged from a bottom-up collaboration between wpZimmer (Antwerp), Baltic Art Center (Gotland), Studio ALTA (Prague), and Lavanderia a Vapore (Turin), organisations actively engaged in international solidarity and emancipatory movements within the cultural field. They were developed in collaboration with six artists: Kalle Brolin, Elisabetta Consonni, Daniele Ninarello, Ahilan Ratnamohan, Marika Smreková, and Danae Theodoridou.
.
MOBILISING WORDS is a card game that uses the “On Mobilisation Vocabulary”, a collection of words gathered as testimonies from the process of researching, facilitating, mobilising and learning from local communities in Antwerp, Gotland, Prague and Turin.
.
TOOLKIT brings together personal testimonies and reflections written by artists, participants, and organisations. Each contribution highlights, in its own voice, the significance of collaborative ways of working as a path toward a stronger cultural sector, but also as a means to transgress its boundaries into social spheres that were previously inaccessible or simply unconnected.
This publication, like the project itself, proposes a softly guided framework for participation grounded in peer-to-peer dynamics, enabling the circulation of knowledge and contributing to the ongoing demand for fundamental equality and social fairness.
