In the 1970s, the cleaning women of the Catholic University of Louvain kicked out their boss and created their own cleaning cooperative, Le Balai Libéré. Fifty years later, UCLouvain’s cleaning staff meet the women who came before them: is working without a boss still an option today? A filmscreening at Luca School of Art took place and the documentary was a source of inspiration for the cleaning assembly.
