The Act of Breathing

29/04/2022 — 01/05/2022

12/05/2022 — 31/07/2022

The Act of Breathing is based on the poem L'Acte de Réspirer, by Congolese writer and poet Sony Labou Tansi and explores the breath - the repetitive and instinctive force that is also a necessity. As Labou Tansi reveals, the breath can also be used as a tool for political resistance, when even the right to breathe must be wilfully preserved.

Beginnings Marathon

25/04/2021 — 26/04/2021

We have all had an extraordinary and difficult year. Our world came to a partial standstill. We are longing for a new beginning. But how do we begin again? Do we start where we ended in March 2020? Or will it be the beginning of something totally different? Do we start again cautiously or will it be the new roaring twenties? And should we be looking for that one new beginning? The importance and the danger of a new beginning amidst the 'post-crisis' vulnerability cannot be overestimated.

Paper Lane

17/10/2020 — 18/10/2020

Paper Lane represents an act of resistance in the face of the digital revolution, the profusion of overabundance and high-speed and high-tech life, that destroy the silence necessary for meditation, introspection and reflection. This act is based on the observation of the need for a radical deceleration and is inspired by the book Alienation and Acceleration: Towards a Critical Theory of Late-Modern Temporality by the German sociologist and philosopher Hartmut Rosa.

WalkTalk

Brussels Academy

The (in)formal urban fabric

20/10/2022

Often perceived as characteristics of the cities of the South, informal dynamics also unfold in the European capitals, such as Brussels. During the visits and lectures, experts and will discuss the variety of processes, squats, alternative access to jobs, etc. that co-construct the urban fabric and attempt to implement the right to the city.

 

During this walk through the northern district, we will observe the tensions between urban projects and the networks of globalisation that bring new forms of appropriation and uses of spaces.
