Michiel Van Wambeke (1998, BE) is a jack of all trades: visual artist, researcher, cultural entrepreneur and community builder. On this website, all forms of his practice are highlighted: artistic work, cultural work and even commercial work.

In his own practice, Van Wambeke works in visual arts and moving image, often centred around media, resistance, and their relation to perception and cognition. His work takes multiple forms: installations, live performances, scenography and VJ sets.

In the cultural field, Van Wambeke is active in several organisations with a focus on bottom-up networks, co-creation, and community. This is tangible in his work for Canapé VZW and Lokroep. At Canapé VZW he serves as chairman of the non-profit, focusing on internal operations and funding. At Lokroep he is a founder and handles production and communication.

Alongside this, Michiel produces films for Field Collective VZW and is an active member of TICK TACK & TACK TICK. Finally he works on commercial projects with a distinct artistic edge and creates videos for the social media channel If You Like Black Cats.
