MASTER CLASS "Anarchist Practices of Filmmaking?" with MARWA ARSANIOS

February 9-12, 2026

How can we organize ourselves in order to produce a collective short film? Building on examples of collective filmmaking and using anarchist methods of organizing we will use the four days of the masterclass to learn from a process of working together in order to produce a rough cut for a potential film.
A self-organized process will be put in place, and it will explore ideas of decentralization, role rotation and collective writing.

Marwa Arsanios’ practice tackles structural questions using different devices, forms and strategies. From architectural spaces, their transformation and adaptability throughout a civil war, to artist-run spaces and temporary conventions between communes and cooperatives, the practice tends to make space within and parallel to existing art structures allowing experimentation with different forms of assemblies. Film becomes another device and space for connecting struggles through images and montage.
In the past nine years Arsanios has been attempting to think about these questions from a new materialist and a historical materialist perspective with different feminist movements that are in a struggle for taking back their land. She tries to look at questions of property, law, economy and ecology from specific plots of land, while focusing on the histories of the commons in the levant region. She has been part of artist collectives and initiatives, the most recent being the legal communalisation of a land in the North Lebanon through its transformation to a Mashaa.

MASTER CLASS "From Concept to Display: Exhibition-Making as a Collaborative Practice" with JANA HÄCKEL AND ANNE-FRANÇOISE LESUISSE

April 13 – May 3, 2026 with exhibition Opening: April 24, 2026, Zwarte Zaal KASK

NOTE: THIS MASTER CLASS IS ORGANISED BY THE MASTER IN PHOTOGRAPHY (4 PLACES ONLY)

AS THIS MASTER CLASS IS ORGANISED BY THE MASTER IN PHOTOGRAPHY A SELECTION WILL BE MADE FOR ARTISTS THAT WORK WITH 'LENS-BASED MEDIA'. Please send your application to Anne-Frnçoise Lesuisse / annefrancoise.lesuisse@hogent.be by SEPTEMBER 29TH! 

This elective offers a hands-on introduction to exhibition making, guiding students through the process of turning a conceptual idea into a realized project within a two-week timeframe. Following an initial exploration of curatorial theories and approaches in photography, students will develop and produce their own exhibition — from concept to completion — covering all aspects of the production process.

The course also emphasizes scenography and mediation, including writing exhibition texts, creating a publication, and managing communication across social media platforms. Here, photography serves not as the final product but as the point of departure — a medium through which students can explore how two-dimensional images can be translated into spatial experiences.

The curatorial process mirrors this spirit of experimentation and play. Each participating artist will collaborate with a curator from the KASK Curatorial Studies Program, engaging in in-depth dialogue to shape their presentation. These individual projects will then come together in a collective group exhibition that embodies the idea of an exhibition as a "collective body."

The goal is to help students reframe their relationship to their own work, breaking down barriers around production and presentation through a collaborative, empowering learning environment. To further enrich this experience, external guest critics will be invited to review the final exhibition and provide individual feedback.

THINKING A BOOK " with Luc Derycke 

8–11 December 2025

NOTE: THIS MASTER CLASS IS ORGANISED BY THE MASTER IN GRAPHIC DESIGN (2 PLACES ONLY)

Everyone who has been involved in the making of a book will know that the word book does not (solely) refer to the object (or run of identical objects) that is the final result of book making; it is rather to be considered as a process. As such it is not a thing but a mental — logical — space, and the activity it requires is as Wittgenstein would name it: the “picturing of facts” — through both language and imagery.
We can consider every book project stemming from a wide rhizomatic entangled field, and a book process as a kind of killing field, a furious haptic pruning that usually results in a string of words and/or images, in an art book typically in the form of a list, in textbooks a sequence of words, grouped as numbered chapters, verses, pages.
A string, especially when very long, would make an un-wieldy object. So it must be compacted, conditioned to be rolled into a scroll, or folded into a book. Materials and a machine park are available to bring this about, and pack a book in books that can be handled, looked at, read, and kept on a shelve.

All this requires thinking, often thinking in concert by a group of people. This is possible because they are thinking a book — that is simultaneously the case and not the case yet: in process. This thinking will design the book. The design can be split in strictly divided tasks, such as writing, editing, iconography, sequencing, graphic design, publishing, marketing, financing etc…, all thinking a book. As in the end only one book can be the case, all thinking will have to be expressed in one design: the book as an object. This one design however, is a combination of many designs, and the fact of combination and the fact that it is so combined is what makes up a book. When the object appears (pe: rolls of a binding machine) it fatally mirrors all thinking invested.

This masterclass is about the book before it is formed into an object. About the many states a book can be in without being an object. About book process debate. About picturing a book as a combination of facts.
