FAÇADE: Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven
02/09/2023 — 25/02/2024
For the second edition of FAÇADE, a series of monumental works in the public space taking over the scaffolding at the site of the future KANAL-Centre Pompidou museum, artist Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (AMVK) pays homage to the city. On the huge tarpaulin, she creates what she calls "a stage for Brussels". Through her colorful, layered style and feminist, socially engaged critique, AMVK presents us with paintings and characters that constitute the artist's intuitive image of the capital and its history.

From Cinemaximiliaan to the Kaaitheater, from Recyclart and the Ecole de Cirque de Bruxelles to Charleroi Danse, from the Vaartkapoen and Decoratelier to UP – Circus & Performing Arts and Ultima Vez: they will all be there (with bells on), rubbing shoulders with the many well- and lesser-known artists and organisations from Molenbeek.

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.

A workshop with Emanuel Almborg, Graziela Kunsch and Penny Wilson (Assemble Play) on alternative pedagogies
29/10/2024
Please join us for a workshop on alternative child pedagogies. After a brief introduction, we will divide into three groups focusing on different practices: Graziela Kunsch will lead a practical experiment involving fine, dry sand and perforated materials (such as funnels and pasta strainers), using the Strandgut playspace created by Ute Strub in Berlin as a case study. Emanuel Almborg’s group will focus on the research practice and politics of observing infants, delving into theories of child development and observation as a scientific and documentary film approach.
