TRAM POÉTIK – PRECY NUMBI

In this workshop, the tram as a means of transport becomes a metaphor for collective memory, for knowledge that must be preserved and shared with local residents, shopkeepers and passers-by. We want to create a space for exchange between communities and co-creation based on an everyday object: the vegetable crate.

“The tram and the vegetable crate as a means of transport that protects collective well-being”

Just as the vegetable crate protects and transports people and fruit, the recycled crate becomes a protective shell for shared social and cultural values. It becomes a refuge for our diversity, a space where every person can find a place to enrich their creative and collective knowledge. It embodies the visible and invisible bonds that unite us, the imprint of our daily lives and the potential for a more united and sustainable society.

This artistic project on public transport, society and ecology explores and questions our interconnections in a festive, creative and convivial setting, where art becomes a means of promoting our socio-cultural values.

★ More about the artist: Precy Numbi (Exposition : Precy Numbi & www.instagram.com/precy_numbi/#), originally from Congo and living in Belgium, is an eco-futuristic sculptor and committed performer. He uses recycled materials, particularly plastic, electronic and car waste, to design costumes, masks, living sculptures and artistic performances in public spaces. He questions established norms and reminds humanity that it has the power to change the past and shape the future through the objects it creates, consumes and discards. By merging the static and the mobile, he creates circular and living structures that symbolise the continuation of life and creates a vision in which everything is connected and nothing is lost.
