Wel­co­me to Manoeu­vre’s embroi­dery table to join a con­ver­sa­ti­on about​‘invi­si­ble work’ within the con­tours of col­la­bo­ra­ti­on and soci­al enga­ge­ment in the art world.

Manoeu­vre is an artis­tic work­pla­ce in Ghent, whe­re tex­ti­les, eve­ry­day life and art meet in polypho­ny. Names (‘Namen’) in turn is tex­ti­le co-cre­a­­ti­­ve work, devel­o­ped by manoeu­vre. For 5 months, in the Pales­ti­ni­an Café, we embroi­de­red the dead of the Pales­ti­ni­an Geno­ci­de on a long robe eve­ry week­day. Behind the­se names are lives and stories.

Pales­ti­ni­an Café is a​‘Hea­ling and Hea­ring spa­ce’, cre­a­ted on the inti­a­ti­ve of the Gents­Kun­sten­Over­leg and NTGent. The noma­dic café was hosted by NTGent arca, arts cen­tre Vier­nul­vier, Cam­po Boma etc. Vzw Manoeu­vre and Vzw Splin­ter bring peo­p­le together through artis­tic and acti­vist pro­jects.
