The Post Collective is an autonomous platform of co-creation, co-learning and cultural activism created for and by refugees, asylum seekers, undocumented migrants and other accomplices. The platform provides its members with a collaborative environment as well as artistic, cultural and employment opportunities. The initiative stems from the 2018 course 'Open Design Course for Refugees and Asylum Seekers' at KASK School of Arts in Ghent. It uses storytelling and dialogue to develop creative and critical alternatives to systems of control and repression.
