Bart Hellinckx has been the archivist for the Suzan Daniel collection since 1996.

SIRENS

09/09/2023

The performance is the result of participatory workshops conducted in summer 2023 by the artist Younes Baba-Ali with an eclectic group of engaged citizens brought together by the platform Forsiti’A in collaboration with KANAL-Centre Pompidou. Exploring the sounds present in the public space of Brussels, the Sirens interrogate the mechanisms of power and authority to which we are exposed.

During the summer 2021, KANAL participates in Openstreets21

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.

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.
