What if Knowledge Isn’t Fixed Facts, but a Living, Evolving Process?
Set within the Archives de la Ville de Bruxelles and the exhibition “Science (De)constructed,” this workshop invites you to reimagine knowledge as a regenerative ecosystem—constantly shaped and reshaped through interaction and creative engagement with existing materials. Through a joint exploration of the Archive’s spaces, creative interaction with the exhibits, collective reflection and collaborative rewriting exercises, you’ll uncover how knowledge evolves through imaginative recreation and playful renewal.
Participants will engage with select elements of the exhibition not as static artifacts, but as dynamic catalysts for personal reflection and collective creativity. These interactions inspire relational thinking, unlocking new perspectives and possibilities.
Together, we will experience the archive as a lens for renewable knowledge—continuously regenerated through processes of selection, organisation and connection. This approach envisions a transformative blurring of boundaries between institutionalised knowledge and personal, embodied understanding, envisioning knowledge’s potential as a force for social and political agency.
Open to adults and young people (16+). No previous experience needed—just an open mind, willingness, and curiosity.
This workshop is part of a tryptic conceived by CLEA ArtScience Research Group exploring the relationship between play, systems and the emergence of knowledge.

About CLEA
The Center Leo Apostel (CLEA) is a unique transdisciplinary research hub at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, (VUB) where scientists, artists, and philosophers work closely together on some of the most intriguing questions. These include: How do natural systems organise themselves without a central leader? How do brain systems work? How do ecosystems function? And how might we combine artistic knowledge and scientific knowledge in interesting ways? These are just a few of the aspects we’ll explore in this participatory workshop.
