What narratives are by and for undocumented immigrants? What perspectives serve their struggle? What are the limits of testimony, and what fictions are possible? What else can be said about migratory phenomena and their consequences in terms of aesthetics, production, and distribution processes? These are just a few of the questions that will be looked at through an anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-classist prism.

The Act of Breathing: Notes on Fugitivity
16/09/2023
With The Act of Breathing: Notes on Fugitivity, curators Sorana Munsya and Evelyn Simons create a space-time in which to analyse the links between the struggle to breathe and the concept of Black fugitivity. The notion of Fugitivity, mainly developed in Black American and Caribbean literature, refers to the history of slavery and the flight of maroons from plantations. Here, we will be exploring how to translate this concept into a contemporary Belgian postcolonial context.

MEANWHILE
15/09/2018 — 16/09/2018
Three performers patiently erect a construction. Their gestures are methodical and the scene, architectural model or installation, takes shape like a city. Playing on the principles of stability and scale, the performers must face the destruction of their undertaking. Sound masses become more intense, ultimately making the space vibrate. The structure crumbles and the bodies become powerless. The threat of collapse becomes more concrete.

MONUMENTAL
15/03/2019 — 17/03/2019
For several years, visual artist Jocelyn Cottencin has been conducting a reflection on form, image, signs and space through recurrent themes such as the group and the community.
For his projects he uses installations, film, graphic design, performances and the book. Quite logically, Monumental is a project that moves borders.
Monumental seeks to activate a visual and collective memory originating in representations of our history, in particular the history of art, or media and contemporary events.
