TRAVELING ARCHIVE OF SMALL GESTURES
COLLECTIVE - PIETER DESMET, STEFFI MENNEN & JONATHAN DE MAEYER
MOBILE, SOCIAL
2025
A mobile project that moves through the city, collecting everyday gestures from its residents to capture the rhythm of community life. Through shared cups of coffee or tea, it creates moments of connection and builds an evolving archive of human interaction. Monthly walks offer opportunities to engage with people and gather their stories. The growing archive is shared in temporary public exhibitions, making these small yet meaningful acts visible to all. After a year, the project culminates in a major exhibition, a collective portrait of identity, belonging, and shared humanity.
