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.

Performing Art - Noé Soulier
22/03/2019 — 23/03/2019
Now that the body has increasingly entered museums, choreographer and philosopher Noé Soulier has chosen to explore the reverse movement: what if it was the artworks that adapted themselves to a new space instead of the body? In Performing Art, spectators observe 20 works of art from the collection of the Musée National d’Art Moderne-Centre Pompidou. Not by strolling through a museum, but from the comfort of their theatre seat. The actors are the technicians of the museum who unpack the artworks onstage according to a well-defined protocol.

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.

The church of Saint John the Baptist in the Brussels Beguinage, not too far from Place Sainte-Catherine, has been occupied by more than 150 undocumented immigrants ever since January 30th, 2021. In its recent history, it has not been the first time that a group of women, men and children have taken over the church as a battlefield with one common goal: the regularisation of all undocumented immigrants in Belgium.

A Invenção da Maldade - Marcelo Evelin
10/05/2019 — 11/05/2019
Brazilian choreographer, researcher and performer Marcelo Evelin is a prominent name in the field of contemporary dance. His latest creation came into being in a former warehouse in his hometown, Teresina, which he uses as his artistic workplace. Raw and unpolished, the space reflects the city and the surrounding country, where everyday lives run up against powerful political tensions and a growing intolerance towards minorities and artists.

Mon réveil me réveille (2017)
Our day starts as soon as we wake up and lasts until we fall asleep. These two extremes align the primal unity of our lifetime. The idea of realizing these two ends in a short lapse of time and of questioning the act of awaking from sleep as an artificial force is the inspiration behind this work.
To indicate the process of time and to ritualize everday movements, this living installation creates a situation in which an artist sleeps with an alarm clock until she is woken by the alarm, repeatedly.

BEING WITH PEDAGOGY
24/11/2018 — 25/11/2018
On November 24, CIVA organizes a one-day discussion Being with Pedagogy — a year after its seminal series Being with Art / Being with Architecture.
This event follows a two-day symposium, Scaffolds (22-23 November), further exploring ideas of radical experimentations and the role of critical pedagogies in art and architecture.
It will be again an opportunity to take risk and rethink the power and responsibility of education today within the context of climatic, cultural and political swiftly changing conditions.
