The minga was organized in \u2018three acts\u2019: a first one to brainstorm and draft ideas on the space and elements that ought to be built (as well as clean-up and organize the space to be built upon); a second one, of two days, for actually building the space; and a third one to collectively cook and share a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A minga<\/em><\/a> is a Latin American indigenous tradition of collectively working for a common good. In the context of the TRADERS Open School<\/a> and in collaboration with studio Socialmatter<\/a>, I decided to organize a minga to collectively design and build the front terrace<\/em> of the restaurant Tajine, in Hasselt, as a semi-public space to be used by all in the city and a contribution to the improvement of the run-down station-area neighborhood of the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first and second acts we collaborated with youngsters from Halte 24, a local youth house and for the third with local artist and amateur cook Shun-Ying Lu, who led an activity for cooking dumplings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
