Urban struggles and the right to the city

Brussels Academy is an urban educational platform to share Brussels knowledge for and by its inhabitants. To accompany Kinshasa (N)tóngá, Brussels Academy organizes a series of thematic city walks. The first event, titled “Urban struggles and the right to the city” is an introduction to the cycle of walks and conferences on the informal city. In relation to the exhibition and its reflection on Kinshasa, the series questions the informal dynamics that contribute to building a city like Brussels. Often perceived as characteristics of Southern , informal dynamics also play a role in European capitals such as Brussels. During the visits and lectures, experts, artists and associations will discuss the variety of processes (squats, alternative access to jobs, etc.) that co-construct the urban fabric and create access to the city.
