About us
Antropical was an annual artist residency that evolved into an artist collective that has now evolved into a looser artist network.
It occasionally undertakes collective projects, and otherwise supports its members with their individual projects. It has its primary base in Luxembourg, but members and a history of activities across Europe.

Our Manifesto
Antropical is a network of artists, who support each other and sometimes work together. It is:
interdisciplinary, welcoming artists of diverse disciplines and enthusiastic about collaboration across disciplinary borders;
international, with roots in Luxembourg but members of its community across Europe and beyond;
organisationally egalitarian, with a more-or-less flat hierarchy, and leadership of individual initiatives resting with (and, if it’s multiple people, negotiated between) whoever proposes them and makes them happen;
playful, and convinced of the value of play – in itself, as an element of art and artistic processes, and, more generally, as a means of personal and social transformation;
rooted in nature, having first come into existence as an outdoor artist residency in Mirador Forest, had ‘Another View on Nature’ as probably its biggest collective project to date, and continued to hold ecological sustainability as an important ideal;
artistically anti-elitist, eager to see art works and experiences of artistic practice reach people of all walks of life, and not be just for small groups with certain of social and educational backgrounds;
pedagogical, certain that art has a major role to play in education;
...otherwise pretty loose and open-minded, really.
