Wijk‐Up (Wake‐up)1

Abstract: Wijk‐Up occupied a special place within Brugge/Bruges 2002. Its main concern was clear from the beginning: Bruges had to be a cultural capital for everybody, with Wijk‐Up as a 'lever of culture’ to bring several population groups closer to the city, not only during the cultural year 2002, but also subsequently. Therefore the initiators chose a social art project: organizing a cultural festival in three neighbourhoods of Bruges. For Wijk‐Up , neighbourhood development and empowering the neighbourhood through cultural activities occupies a central place in the ambitions of creating a lasting co‐operation between the City of Bruges and its cultural institutions. Since Brugge 2002, Wijk‐Up is being continued as a social art experiment of the organization 'Brugge Plus’, sustained by a permanent working alliance between Bruges' houses of culture, City Hall, the neighbourhoods and the Coordinator for Cultural Policy.2
