NEXUS - En quête d'une voie
The others
Nexus – En quête d’une voie is a sensory and physical, almost spiritual experience, a performance about the fragility of the human mind.
Four performers take to the stage, bringing new imaginary worlds to life through a distorted perception of reality. They balance on a knife-edge; everything unfolds in a breath, within inner worlds shaped by an altered perception, where bodies move, speak and scream in silence.
Oumar Diallo’s work plays with the fragile value of the moment, breaking down the wall that separates audiences from performers, and using movement, words and embodiment to bring it to life.
Oumar Diallo’s dance, born in the streets and clubs, is resolutely of its time. Nexus – En quête d’une voie is his first group work, following his much-talked-about duo Kifesh 2.0 (2024).
Oumar Diallo received the Roel Verniers Prize, awarded by the Theaterfestival / KVS to encourage emerging artists, for his project NEXUS – En quête d’une voie.

Je suis un voleur • Loutfi Chama Fabrice Murgia
A life spent almost entirely in a state of confinement. Since childhood, Loutfi, aged 44, has gone from one institution to another
Fabrice Murgia returns to the Théâtre National with a production that combines an epic scope with the realism of a deeply immersive narrative.
A life spent almost entirely in a state of confinement. Since childhood, Loutfi, aged 44, has gone from one institution to another: sent to a care centre at the age of 2 on the initiative of social services, he was subsequently put through a series of institutions for minors before being sent to prison several times for petty crimes. His meeting with Fabrice Murgia sparked the idea of telling his story, a necessary step towards finally managing to deal with life ‘on the outside’.
Designed for an intimate stage setting, in close proximity to the audience, Je suis un voleur unfolds the episodes of Loutfi’s past as a series of scenes brought to life by the performers. This unique, almost novelistic journey sheds light on a whole facet of life in detention centres, a violent, dead-end world that still deserves our attention today.

BAFF- Brussels Art Film Festival
From 10 to 15 November, the Brussels Art Film Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary with nearly 40 recent documentaries exploring art in all its forms, from dance and music to photography and visual arts. Across Brussels, Mons and Antwerp, discover 13 Belgian films in competition, international premieres, a focus on Lebanon and special events bringing artists, films and audiences together.
BAFF 2026: 25 Years of Cinema, Art and Creativity
From 10 to 15 November 2026, the Brussels Art Film Festival (BAFF) celebrates its 25th edition in Brussels, Antwerp and Mons. The only festival in Belgium dedicated to documentaries about art and artistic creation, the BAFF invites audiences to explore the connections between cinema, music, dance, literature, poetry and the visual arts over six days.
The programme features 38 films, including 13 Belgian films in competition and around 20 Belgian premieres, offering the chance to discover remarkable artists, works and creative worlds. From Marina Abramović to Germaine Acogny, from William S. Burroughs to Barbara Hammer, the festival brings artistic practices, eras and perspectives into dialogue.
For this anniversary edition, collage takes centre stage as its guiding theme: fragments of images, stories and memories come together, intersect and open up new perspectives. This approach runs throughout the programme, from the National Competition to the International Panorama, including screenings that resonate with exhibitions currently on view at Bozar, WIELS and ISELP.
The National Competition brings together 13 films — six feature-length films and seven short films — competing for four awards, including the Art Film Award, exceptionally increased to €2,500 for this anniversary edition. The selected works include Nostalgia for the Future by Brecht Debackere, a tribute to Chris Marker that premiered at Cannes, Donn, le danseur du XXe siècle by Mariano Baez and Florencia Dávila, and Ceci n’est pas un film français by Tom Adjibi.
This year, the festival is strengthening its ties with its sister festival, the BAFF – Beirut Art Film Festival, through News from Lebanon, a programme dedicated to Lebanese cinema. Featuring films from both the past and the present, including two rare works by filmmaker Maroun Baghdadi, who died in 1993, the selection invites audiences to discover different stories and perspectives on Lebanon. This dialogue will continue in December with CINEMAMED.
The festival opens at Palace with Days of Wonder by Karin Pennanen, a film devoted to Finnish artist Markku Pennanen. The closing film will be Souraya, mon amour by Nicolas Khoury, a portrait of actress and dancer Souraya Baghdadi, who will be present for the screening.
Six days of cinema to discover art from a different perspective, meet artists and bring images, ideas and imaginations into circulation.
Full programme and information: www.baffestival.be
Souraya Baghdadi, Sarah Vanagt, Thierry Smits, Pierre(s), and films featuring or exploring the work of Marina Abramović, William S. Burroughs, Germaine Acogny, Jorge Donn, Alain Cavalier, Chris Marker, Frank Zappa…

The Only Living Pickpocket in New York
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a stylish crime film and a tender, melancholic ode to a changing New York. Set against the city’s iconic streets, with an atmospheric soundtrack and an impressive cast including John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Steve Buscemi and Jamie Lee Curtis, Noah Segan paints a world where old habits and faded glory are increasingly under pressure. Harry Lehman (John Turturro) is an old-school pickpocket in a time when his profession is slowly dying out. Still, he keeps stealing to make ends meet and to care for his seriously ill wife, Rosie. When what seems like a simple theft unexpectedly brings him something of great value, Harry becomes entangled in a dangerous web of criminals. What follows is a nerve-racking race through the streets of New York, as Harry must rely on his old-school skills, his network and his instincts to save himself and get his stolen goods back. With suspense, dry humor, melancholy and a sharp eye for the city, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York tells a story about loyalty, faded glory and what remains when the world around you changes forever.

House of Memory / by Basil Al-Rawi
A VR journey through archives and Iraqi stories.
House of Memory / is an immersive Virtual Reality experience by artist Basil Al-Rawi. Based on photographs and oral testimonies from the Iraq Photo Archive, he transforms archival material into a virtual space where memories can be revisited and explored.
In this 15-minute experience, you encounter personal stories of Iraq in the 1970s, as remembered by those who lived there. Through voices and images, Iraq emerges as a space of cultural richness and everyday life, shaped by memory and displacement of its people. The work offers a rare perspective on Iraqi history and diaspora experience.
Basil Al-Rawi works across photography, moving images, sculpture and digital technologies, exploring memory, identity and archival storytelling. The project was developed as part of his PhD research at the Glasgow School of Art.
House of Memory is part of Ireland's cultural programme for the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Jean Brusselmans
Painter by Nature
Bozar presents a major retrospective of the painter Jean Brusselmans (1884-1953), the first comprehensive exhibition of his work since 1980. From the early 20th century onwards, Brusselmans developed a distinctive body of work, independent of artistic trends yet firmly rooted in painterly tradition. His deep connection to the Brabant landscape and his modest way of life are translated into an authentic and recognisable visual language, situated at the intersection of abstraction and figuration. Through some 120 works, the exhibition introduces visitors to the remarkable oeuvre of a still underappreciated Belgian artist. Dialogues with contemporaries such as Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian and Rik Wouters offer a fresh perspective on his work. The exhibition also highlights Brusselmans' decorative commissions for the theatre, including the monumental sets he designed for the first French-language production of the opera Erwartung by Arnold Schoenberg at the Centre for Fine Arts in 1936. These lost stage designs are brought back to life by the contemporary Belgian painter Kristof Santy (b. 1987), who frequently draws inspiration from Brusselmans in his own work.

Andrej Danóczi, a visual artist whose work reflects contemporary artistic experimentation and individual expression.
Together, these artists represent the diversity of contemporary visual art from Slovakia, ranging from painting and photography to interdisciplinary artistic approaches. Their works engage with themes of memory, identity, landscape, transformation and the relationship between personal and collective experience.
The opening evening will feature a presentation of the exhibition and the participating artists, followed by a networking reception bringing together representatives of the cultural sector, diplomatic community and the wider international public in Brussels.

Central. Never Alone
The Brussels-based office Central (°2015) develops meaningful architecture that enhances the urban context and contributes to the public realm. For Central, the discipline of architecture is intrinsically relational - never autonomous, but always shaped by context and uses, collaborations and a frame of reference.
From 11 November 2026 to 24 January 2027, Bozar and A+ present Never Alone. The exhibition starts from Central Office for Architecture and Urbanism's first retrospective publication, bringing together an overview of both its completed and ongoing projects. The practice's approach is further enriched by the perspectives of four invited photographers. Adrien De Hemptinne, Maxime Delvaux, Rory Gardiner and Delphine Mathy each offer a unique perspective on a selection of projects.
This exhibition is produced in collaboration between A+ and Bozar, with Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König responsible for publishing the catalogue.
During an inaugural lecture on 10 November 2026, Central's founders, Radim Louda, Paul Mouchet and Valentin Piret, will introduce the exhibition and its accompanying publication.

Mind of a Serial Killer : The Experience
William Kentridge - I am not me, the horse is not mine
William Kentridge began his artistic career at the height of the political struggle against the apartheid regime in his native South Africa. His work bears witness to a profound commitment – at once social, political and poetic – that continues to shape his artistic practice to this day.
Kentridge’s artistic output ranges from drawings, animated films and sculptures to prints, installations and videos. These works often emerge while he is directing a theatre or opera production, another field to which he devotes his energies. I am not me, the horse is not mine, William Kentridge’s solo exhibition at Bozar, offers a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre from the early 1980s to the present day. Several of his major stage productions receive special attention. The exhibition highlights the performative and collaborative nature of Kentridge’s practice, in which he allows art to evolve into a space for political inquiry, historical reckoning and poetic transformation.
William Kentridge will take over one of Bozar’s major exhibition spaces, create site-specific works, and curate a rich, multidisciplinary programme. This is by no means the first time we have welcomed Kentridge to Brussels. He has a long-standing connection with the city, where he premiered his first opera (Faustus in Africa! 1995), and where Bozar presented his first solo exhibition in Europe in 1998.

Expo Jean Dujardin - In the heart of Congo
An exposition with photographs by Jean Dujardin, taken throughout Congo.
About encounters, fleeting moments and unexpected discoveries. Cycling along the Route Nationale 1 between Kinshasa and Lubumbashi. The road winds through a world that sometimes seems surreal. Thousands of kilometres, from village to village, through landscapes where the road itself sometimes seems to vanish. A collapsed bridge stops the cycle. The tarmac gives way to earth, water and mud. And yet the journey continues. Life never stands still along Route Nationale 1. Where one road ends, another begins. People seek their own paths, towards the next village, towards one another, towards today and tomorrow. The photographs are a collection of those moments along the way. A glimpse of Congo, where the road does not always continue, but life always finds its way.

Smithsonian Journey into deep space
Smithsonian Journey into deep space takes audiences on a journey to the far reaches of the Universe, right from the heart of Brussels at Tour & Taxis. Developed in collaboration with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a research centre founded in 1890, the immersive experience draws on decades of astronomical research to explore stars, galaxies, exoplanets and black holes.
The exhibition features observations made by some of the world’s leading space observatories, including the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes and the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Through scientific data and discoveries, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the life cycle of stars, the formation of galaxies, worlds beyond our solar system and some of the most extreme phenomena in the cosmos.
Set within a 3D environment, the experience takes visitors among representations of thousands of galaxies, across the Milky Way and towards the Sun, where they can observe its activity up close. Along the way, they encounter exoplanets with extreme conditions, a star nearing the end of its life and the edge of a supermassive black hole. By bringing these distant worlds and phenomena into an immersive setting, the experience offers a tangible sense of the vast scale and extraordinary diversity of the Universe, while making some of the most complex astronomical phenomena easier to understand from an Earth-based perspective.

LUMSON presents the results of an artistic research project by artist Aernoudt Jacobs, developed in collaboration with iMAL, UHasselt/imo-imomec, FARI/ULB/VUB and De Hoge Rielen. The project explores how inaudible frequencies become perceptible by connecting a luminous speaker foil with an AI component that translates hidden frequencies into vocal sounds. The exhibition brings together installations, prototypes, workshop results and documentation material from this process.
The luminous speaker is created by screen-printing several layers onto a thin, flexible piezoelectric foil. Conductive and electroluminescent inks are applied and encapsulated so that the same flat surface can vibrate to produce sound while also emitting light and colors. Its innovation lies in uniting material and technology in a single surface, so that the resulting object becomes not merely a container for technical components but the speaker, light source, and visual composition itself. Hidden signals and waves are translated into voice and this creates an environment in which invisible signals become audible, visible and tangible at once — with the voice functioning both as metaphor and as a concrete result of this translation.
Across different workshops, the project evolved through encounters with artistic, academic, DIY, and school audiences, each revealing a different aspect of the luminous speaker and the inaudible phenomena surrounding it. Participants explored the creative potential of constructing and presenting the screen-printed speakers collectively, and developed the material and technical knowledge needed to improve their performance and durability. They also investigated how urban electromagnetic signals could be translated into AI-generated voices and audiovisual compositions, while younger participants explored connections between technology, nature, storytelling, and collaborative making.
Working with a different audience each time tested the project from multiple perspectives, generating varied forms of knowledge and expression. The process showed how collective experimentation can make complex technologies accessible, imaginative, and socially engaging. The exhibition presents around 70 printed speakers made by around 40 people, including workshop participants.

Mangatopia 30: years of manga from Kana!
For thirty years, Kana Editions has been at the forefront of manga’s rise within the French-speaking cultural landscape. Through works that have become essential reading and a remarkable diversity of stories, it has enabled several generations of readers to discover a medium that has become a true global cultural phenomenon.
To mark this anniversary, the Brussels Comic Strip Museum presents MANGATOPIA: 30 Years of Manga from Kana!, an exhibition that invites the public to immerse themselves in this world. Thanks to a thoughtfully designed exhibition layout, a varied selection of works and exclusive accounts from leading mangaka and key figures on the Japanese scene, visitors can discover the many facets of an art form that has constantly reinvented itself.
Conceived as a museum exhibition in its own right, MANGATOPIA brings together in Brussels an exceptional collection of original artwork (some of which has never left Japan) and other rare pieces, offering an enriching insight into the history and aesthetics of manga. For the first time in the Belgian capital, these historical and artistic artefacts are brought together in a single exhibition, allowing the public to appreciate this heritage in all its richness.
Designed for enthusiasts and newcomers alike, MANGATOPIA celebrates creativity, the power of storytelling and manga’s extraordinary ability to bring together different generations and cultures. More than just an anniversary exhibition, it is an invitation to explore a boundless world of imagination and to understand why manga is now one of the most universal cultural languages.

Mayhem at the Workshop!
The 2025–2026 Master’s students at ESA Saint-Luc are exhibiting the work they created during their residency
Every year, young artists complete their training in comic art with a project that marks the culmination of several years of research, experimentation and creative work. This exhibition brings together the work of Master’s 2 students from the École supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc in Brussels, produced during their residency at the Comic Art Museum.
For five months, the Comic Art Museum hosted the students in residence at the Maison Marc Sleen. This residency enabled the students to experience life in a studio, build a sense of community, and develop their final-year projects whilst already having one foot outside the school.
By opening its workspaces to these future professionals, the museum reaffirms its commitment to supporting contemporary creativity and nurturing emerging talent. This exhibition offers a glimpse into the richness of the visual and narrative styles currently shaping the young comics scene, whilst introducing readers to comic creators whose first books are set to be published in the coming years.

Identita - The Story of Czech Graphic Design
From 16 October 2026 to 7 March 2027, the Design Museum Brussels presents Identita – The Story of Czech Graphic Design, an exhibition dedicated to more than a century of graphic design in the Czech Republic. The exhibition explores the role of graphic design in shaping the country’s identity and bears witness to the profound political, social and cultural changes that have marked its history.
Located in Brussels, the capital of Belgium and home to the main institutions of the European Union, the Design Museum Brussels also aims to serve as a showcase for European creativity and the diversity of its design cultures. With this in mind, the museum regularly hosts temporary exhibitions that offer a particular European country’s perspective on its history and design culture. Identita is part of this initiative, inviting visitors to Design Museum Brussels to discover the history and distinctive characteristics of Czech graphic design, while placing them within a broader European context.
Graphic design plays an important role in the way a country presents itself and shapes its identity. Posters, books, magazines, logos and national symbols not only tell the story of their time, but also reflect the social developments of their era. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the development of graphic design in the Czech Republic, and, prior to 1993, in Czechoslovakia, has therefore been closely linked to the country’s turbulent history. The 20th century brought profound changes, from the establishment of an independent state and two world wars to the succession of two totalitarian regimes. After 1989, society and the economy underwent a fundamental transformation, with the transition from a socialist planned economy to a market economy. All of these developments were reflected in the country’s graphic culture.
Through original works and reproductions, the exhibition introduces visitors to some of the most striking examples of Czech graphic design and to the designers behind them. Each work is presented within its cultural, historical and political context. This makes it possible to see how graphic design and society have influenced one another over the years.
Identita at the Design Museum Brussels brings this story to a new audience, offering visitors the opportunity to discover how Czech graphic design evolved over the course of nearly a century in dialogue with politics, technology, everyday life and cultural trends. The exhibition is curated by Filip Blažek and Linda Kudrnovská, in collaboration with curator David Korecký and the team at the Design Museum Brussels for the Brussels presentation.
The touring exhibition Identita is a joint project of the Typo association, Mowshe studio, the Museum of Literature and the network of Czech Centres. The graphic design was created by Marvil studio. The architectural design was developed by Adam Blažek, Jan Kloss and Matěj Činčera of studio Okolo.

"The Working Dead" - Renier Semidey
As Halloween approaches, the ZazafromBrussels gallery invites you to discover an entirely different world—that of artist Renier Semidey, whose work is being presented in Belgium for the very first time in an exhibition with a fittingly themed title.
As Halloween approaches, the gallery ZazafromBrussels invites you to discover a completely different world, that of Renier Semidey, a self-taught Brussels-based artist of Cuban origin being showcased in Belgium for the very first time with this aptly titled exhibition...
They are there, at least in appearance. They answer emails, move from one meeting to the next, and uphold the codes of professional courtesy. But are they still alive?
In "The Working Dead," Renier Semidey transforms corporate artifacts into weapons of visual rebellion. The exhibition brings together works created in the very heart of bureaucratic routine: drawings in ballpoint pen, ink, and marker on office paper; large India ink drawings; and acrylic paintings on canvas.
Influenced by Expressionism and Art Brut, Renier’s work subverts the sanitized language of corporate jargon. His hybrid, unsettling figures dismantle the mask of efficiency imposed by the institution. Oversized jaws, panoptic gazes, and heads turned inward embody a humanity in a state of decay.
Balancing the urgency of lines drawn on office paper against the raw intensity of acrylic paint, the exhibition portrays a form of organizational alienation in which the individual is gradually drained of their substance.

Icons, 20 years Designer of the Year
In 2006, the first “Designer of the Year” award was presented in Belgium. The prize was originally established by the Interieur Biennale and the magazines Knack Weekend and Le Vif Weekend, and was awarded that year to Brussels-based designer Alain Berteau. Over the years, various partners joined the initiative, and it grew into a well-established reference in the Belgian design landscape.
Twenty years later, the list of laureates reads as a best-of-the-best of what the country has to offer in contemporary design: from ceramic designers and silversmiths to product and lighting designers. Concepts such as innovation, originality, and ecology are often central to their work. The list includes names such as Muller Van Severen, Alain Gilles, Nedda El-Asmar, Julien Renault, and Linde Freya Tangelder. On the occasion of the 20th edition of the title, all twenty names come together in an exhibition at MAD Brussels, on view from 1 October to 12 December.

Modern Slavery
Starting November 5, 2026, the Géopolis team will present a new two-part exhibition series on modern slavery.
The first part showcases the work of American photographer Lisa Kristine. Since 2009, she has been documenting forced labor and human trafficking where they occur: quarries and brick kilns in Nepal, gold mines and fishing in Ghana, mica and textile industries in India, and fishing fleets in Thailand.
The second part is dedicated to Afghanistan, as seen through the lens of French photojournalist Élise Blanchard, who documented the country’s history from 2018 to 2025. Her fieldwork offers a glimpse into the daily lives of women and girls under the Taliban regime.

Korean Traditional Painting in Alter-age; Pure and Hybrid
This exhibition brings together historical masterpieces of Korean painting as well as works by four contemporary Korean artists. Opening in Brussels on September 17, the exhibition explores how Hangukhwa (traditional Korean painting) continues to be reinterpreted and transformed today.
Historical masterpieces ranging from the late Joseon period to the 20th century are presented alongside contemporary creations by four Korean artists: Jean Song, Choe Sooryeon, Choi Haeri, and Hwang Kyumin.
KOREAN PAINTING: Tradition Meets the Present
At the heart of the exhibition is muninhwa, or Korean literati painting, a tradition rooted in the spirit of the seonbi ("literati scholar"). Rather than treating tradition as something frozen in the past, the exhibition explores how these established artistic practices are learned, repeated, and reinterpreted within modern temporalities.
The exhibition features masterpieces from the collections of the Ilmin Museum of Art and the Ilmin Cultural Foundation, highlighting nine historical figures—Jeong Seon, Yi Gwangsa, Kang Sehwang, Kim Jeonghui, Jang Seungeop, An Jungsik, Lee Sangbeom, No Soohyeon, and Pak Nosoo—alongside four contemporary artists. Highlights of the exhibition include Calligraphy and Paintings of Kang Sehwang (1789) and Flower and Bird (c. 1860) by Jang Seungeop.
COPY, REINTERPRET, CREATE
A key concept of the exhibition stems from three traditional methodologies of learning and artistic creation: mo (模, to copy), im (臨, to study and imitate), and bang (倣, to adapt).
Contemporary artists Jean Song, Choe Sooryeon, Choi Haeri, and Hwang Kyumin revisit these fundamental principles from a modern perspective. By recombining these classic methods, they place traditional Korean visual practices into a dynamic dialogue with contemporary sensibilities and materials.
Visitors will be able to discover a variety of works, ranging from the ink painting The First Window (2023) by Jean Song and Practice for Decorating a Shrine (2026) by Choe Sooryeon, to the oil painting Water Column with Liliums (2022) by Choi Haeri and Mo-Im-Bang (The Gathering Room): copy, paint, and stroke (2026) by Hwang Kyumin.
PURE AND HYBRID: What Makes a Tradition?
The subtitle Pure and Hybrid raises broader questions about the evolution of "tradition". The term Hangukhwa ("Korean painting") carries a complex modern history, having emerged during the post-liberation period to construct a decolonized artistic identity following Japanese colonial rule. Rather than asserting a single "pure" origin, Hangukhwa has continuously evolved through constant dialogue with contemporary art. The exhibition approaches tradition not as a frozen relic, but as a living and dynamic cultural system, permanently shaped by hybridity and active reinterpretation.
KOREAN PAINTING, REDRAWN IN BRUSSELS
Presented as part of "2026 Touring K-Arts", a public-private initiative aimed at introducing Korean arts to an international audience, the exhibition is supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE), Arts Council Korea, and Hyundai Sungwoo Holdings.
The Korean Cultural Center to Belgium and the EU, in collaboration with the Ilmin Museum of Art, is pleased to present the exhibition "Korean Traditional Painting in Alter-age: Pure and Hybrid".

"Human Geography" Exhibition – Baudoin Lotin and Daniel Boreux
Two photographers. Two journeys. Two sensibilities.
And yet, a shared need: to observe the human experience.
For over fifty years, Baudoin Lotin has traveled the world with a camera, seemingly seeking out human encounters rather than specific events. His images focus on gestures, faces, bodies, silences, and the ordinary scenes that—better than any long-winded explanation—tell the stories of men and women. It is a deeply human, attentive, and committed form of photography, where the distance between the observer and the observed tends to vanish.
Daniel Boreux is a general practitioner and... a photographer.
He, too, photographs the human experience, but with a more intimate and contemplative approach.
His images often seem to capture things in their primal simplicity: a body, a presence, a posture, a fragment of life. His gaze rests quietly, paying special attention to what might easily go unnoticed.
Their photographs do not tell the same stories.
They are not taken from the same vantage point.
But they look in the same direction.

Soleil Noir presents this autumn at Villa Empain nearly one hundred works by exclusively Belgian artists. Spanning 130 years of artistic creation, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the work of Léon Spilliaert alongside major figures of modern and contemporary art.
The exhibition unfolds through themes such as the self-portrait, the nude, melancholy, landscape, and the North Sea. An exceptional selection of more than thirty works by Léon Spilliaert enters into dialogue with creations by his contemporaries, including James Ensor, Constant Permeke, Edgar Tytgat, George Minne, and Henry Van de Velde. The exhibition also highlights the profound influence of this Belgian artistic tradition on subsequent generations, from Luc Tuymans and Thierry De Cordier to Hans Op de Beeck and Michaël Borremans.
An invitation to discover the many echoes that connect the great masters of Belgian art with the artists who continue to shape the way we see the world today.

Kurt Peiser and the Marolles
In its final exhibition before the gallery is refurbished, the Parenthesis Space will be presenting the realistic and sensitive works of Kurt Peiser. In 2025, the Museum acquired 79 of his works. Discover around thirty of these pieces, which bear witness to everyday life and the history of the Marolles district during the interwar period.
In its final exhibition before the gallery is refurbished, the Parenthesis Space will be presenting the realistic and sensitive works of Kurt Peiser. In 2025, the Museum acquired 79 of his works. Discover around thirty of these pieces, which bear witness to everyday life and the history of the Marolles district during the interwar period.
Kurt Peiser (1887–1962), takes an honest yet sensitive view of his adopted home city of Brussels. He walks around the capital, paying special attention to the Marolles. In this way he becomes a uniquely close observer of that neighbourhood. Through his engravings and drawings, the artist captures the everyday spirit of its narrow streets, bustling cul-de-sacs and the people living in the shadow of the Palace of Justice. He immortalises the men and women he meets in the taverns along the Rue Haute and in the public spaces. Rejecting all forms of sentimentalised misery, Kurt Peiser’s portraits reveal the dignity, inner lives and humanity of the people who make up the fabric of this neighbourhood. A century later, his works still have the power to move us.
In 2025, the Brussels City Museum acquired a collection of 79 works by Kurt Peiser. Created mainly in the 1920s, around thirty of them are on display at the Brussels City Museum. This major acquisition allows the museum to continue with its mission: to tell the story of Brussels in all its richness and highlight the lives of the men and women who have lived in the city, shaping it and giving it life over the years.

The window of Constant becomes the backdrop of a puppet & sound installation, by audiovisual Sonic Storyteller Suzanne Cleerdin.
A strike is announced at the airport. People are already in the airport hall…. There are loads of us; really filling up the airport hall. Some are waiting for their suitcases.
People wait, become impatient. Another group is waiting before the departure board. The check in desks are not showing yet. They wait, become impatient.
At some point the luggage belt stops turning, and people start to leave. Three suitcases are left.
Out of one of the suitcases five characters appear.
The moon, a plane, two people and patience.
They have no problem going on strike.

Bio
Suzanne Cleerdin is an artist active in Brussels making performative and audiovisual works. She is also a DJ under the alter ego Mandy Pixel. Her sets and work revolve around the familiar while they are at the same time constantly trying to disrupt this, and are like being around many strangers: awkward and stimulating. Her work blurs and redefines the boundaries between film, sound, and performance, maintaining a militant yet optimistic approach.

Aware that art has never saved the world, David Crunelle devotes himself to it. At a time when we are plunging blindly into the void, he knows that his paintings are tombstones rather than parachutes. His works are a politeness of despair, an aesthetic quest that has renounced grand rhetoric and denunciations, a quest that has no use for hope.
What derisory tools: scissors, glue and a jumble of paper. What an immoderate hope it is to carve our world to pieces, only to reorganise the remnants into complex assemblages laden with meaning. Between taut geometry and symbolic allusions, a reinvented beauty emerges. For beauty is part of our world, even if it will not prevail.

Trouble Parfait
Two generations, two worlds, two approaches and a multitude of materials come together in dialogue in Hectare’s new exhibition.
A regular at the gallery since Miroir Miroir with his reworkings of camera lenses, Jiro Kamata (b. 1978, Hirosaki, Japan – lives and works in Munich) propels them into new dimensions. These ‘optical gems’, once destined to capture light and preserve memories, now give way to laboratory-grown quartz. The real and the unreal pass through the sensory portal of his Celestial Eyes. Mutations, distortions and reflections take centre stage in a parallel world inspired by astronomy, mythology and spirituality.
Extreme meticulousness and the utmost attention to detail are echoed in the illusions – very different, yet equally fascinating – created by Benedict Haener (b. 1992, lives and works in Lucerne, Switzerland). Under the title Kill your darling, from sandpaper to sugar cubes and sour sweets, the artist reinterprets the everyday, pulverises precious materials, initially devaluing them only to imbue them with new value through unique pieces that are wildly technical and irresistibly playful.
Whilst each of these creators’ approaches embodies a pop aesthetic that is resolutely contemporary, they nonetheless contain a nostalgic or fantastical element woven into their work.
It is at this intersection that the scenographic collaborators of Trouble parfait come into play. Through the speckled ceramic of her photo frames, Léna Babinet (b. 1994, Paris – lives and works in Brussels) creates a disruption. The image is missing; the reflection is absent. What remains is the object – recognisable as ever – and its intimate mystery, its vibrant presence, its familiar strangeness. As if freshly picked, Olga Flór’s (b. 1995, based in Eindhoven) sunflowers capture the fleeting and the shifting at the heart of a boldly impure eternity.

INUIT - Impressions of the Canadian Far North
With nearly 250 artworks on display, this major exhibition offers the European public a rare opportunity to discover contemporary Inuit art. This expo shows the Inuit world, exploring traditions, Arctic fauna, and contemporary concerns such as climate change. Using prints, drawings and sculptures, these artists explore the human-animal relationship, identity and the transformation of landscapes.
With nearly 250 artworks on display, this exhibition offers the European public a rare opportunity to discover contemporary Inuit art. Moving beyond an ethnographic approach, the exhibited works are first and foremost those of artists whose creations engage with the major challenges of our time and with
the authentic voices of the Inuit communities of Nunavut and Nunavik.
Using prints, drawings and sculptures, these artists explore the human-animal relationship, along with concepts such as memory, identity and the transformation of landscapes and territories.
Inspired by the collection assembled by the Belgian poet Carl Norac, with additional contributions from several major European museums, the exhibition highlights the rich variety of materials and the diversity of artistic techniques.

From 11 September to 13 December, Autoworld will bring back to the museum the crème de la crème of more than 100 temporary exhibitions. The exhibition will feature cars and motorcycles that have appeared in one of Autoworld’s many past exhibitions and that each have a special link with the history of the museum.
‘Autoworld 40 Years – Looking back to the future’ will not be a classic retrospective, but an eclectic and surprising look back at 40 years of Autoworld. Visitors will discover vehicles ranging from pre-war models to modern supercars, including the Bugatti Type 35, the Lamborghini Miura, the rare Muntz Jet, the unique Toyota 2000GT Targa from James Bond, the “flying” Citroën DS and the Porsche 918.
The latter is coming at the request of the public. In July, Autoworld asked visitors which cars they would like to see again at the museum. The answers were enthusiastic and remarkably diverse, but one thing became clear once again: supercars remain extremely popular. The Porsche 918 clearly stood out as the most requested car. We are therefore delighted to announce its presence.
Each vehicle will be linked to the exhibition in which it was once displayed. The exhibition will also include a wall presenting an overview of all the exhibitions Autoworld has organised over the years. A short video will summarise 40 years of Autoworld through images, moments and memories from the museum’s history.

Art nouveau versus Art Deco? 1850–1950: a century in 31 seats
Dive into a century of revolutions in design and architecture! Between Art Nouveau and modernism, discover 31 iconic chairs revealing the evolutions and continuities that have shaped the way we live.
From June 25, 2026, to January 10, 2027, the Horta Museum presents the exhibition Art Nouveau versus Art Deco? 1850–1950: A Century in 31 Seats. The exhibition features thirty chairs by leading designers, from Victor Horta and Henry van de Velde to Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, offering insight into a century of transformation in design and architecture in the Western world. Although Art Nouveau and Art Deco are often seen as opposites, this exhibition brings them into dialogue through the chair, an iconic object in interior architecture. The chair serves as the central thread and illustrates how designers are connected across generations.

In the summer of 2026, the Fashion & Lace Museum invites you to discover the simplicity of clothing. Spanning more than two centuries of history, this new exhibition looks back at moments when clothing leaned towards simplicity, functionality, and naturalness. Often associated with luxury, glamour, and novelty, fashion is revealed here as a mirror of cultural and social change. A theme that, until now, has been little studied.
Simplicites begins at the end of the 18th century. The philosophy of the Enlightenment, along with medical and hygienist discourse, called for a profound reform of the way people dressed. A return to nature manifested itself in a rejection of corrective artifices, new cuts, breathable materials, and an aesthetic vocabulary inspired by Antiquity. The clothing ideal became a reflection of a new lifestyle combining comfort, freedom of the body, and closeness to nature.
The exhibition is divided into six chapters, each highlighting the different aspects of this simplicity. Drawn from history, the pieces shown in these thematic capsules reveal the continuity, resurgence, and paradoxes of this aesthetic. Discover this lesser-known side of fashion history.

No Need to Export Expo
BeLikha, a Filipino diaspora art collective based in Belgium, is pleased to present No Need to Export, a diaspora exhibition that considers the pressure placed on diaspora communities to make themselves legible, to explain their humour, soften contradictions, package culture, and translate identity for an outside audience. It runs from 18 October to 12 December at Mundo-B Matonge, Brussels.
BeLikha is pleased to present No Need to Export, a Filipino diaspora exhibition bringing together Filipino artists based in Belgium.
The exhibition considers the pressure placed on diaspora communities to make themselves legible, to explain their humour, soften contradictions, package culture, and translate identity for an outside audience.
No Need to Export turns away from that expectation.
Across different practices, the participating artists engage memory, labour, faith, care, humour, desire, class, migration, and contradiction. The works do not attempt to offer a single image of Filipino identity. Instead, they make space for what may remain coded, intimate, excessive, sentimental, devotional, uncomfortable, or difficult to translate.
What happens when Filipino artists do not perform culture as hospitality, nostalgia, decoration, or proof of integration? What becomes possible when meaning is allowed to remain partly untranslated?

Edgar Sarin - 'Matthäus-Passion'
The exhibition at Fondation CAB brings together recent works by Edgar Sarin alongside works by Sol LeWitt, Cy Twombly, Robert Barry, Peter Buggenhout, Niele Toroni, Miquel Barceló, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Louise Lawler, Joseph Beuys, Merry Alpern, Brice Marden, and Nan Goldin.
Borrowed from Johann Sebastian Bach, the title Matthäus-Passion refers here to a composition of autonomous voices, in which each presence acts upon the others.
Passion is understood here as a state, one of intensity, where works coexist and test one another. The artist stands amid that which has shaped him, not to produce a synthesis, but to sustain its living tension, beyond homage.
Matthäus-Passion is a place where looking becomes an undeniably physical experience; where art history is no longer a backdrop but an active material; where works do not merely respond to one another ; they persist alongside us.

Discover the paintings of Jess Sutton, an artist from Uccle, from Thursday, September 17, through Friday, November 6. Jess Sutton was born in England and settled in Belgium in 2011. Her paintings are inspired by landscapes, the sky, and the botanical world. The sky has such freedom. The clouds drift unchecked as they cross different countries and continents. This shared space has an incredible way of becoming a kind of mirror, going beyond the visual by being able to both reflect and create mood. These skies are always attached to a moment, which then becomes a memory. Translating them using paint shifts them. The wisps of time that the wind whisks away, hover. Becoming static they gain a second life. They also gain a title, the weight of the paint and canvas and its support: they gain gravity. They start a new journey with a new meaning and its attached memories, for whoever is looking at them brings with them their own stories about the sky. Observations | Waarnemingen, is a short, experimental film by artist Jess Sutton in collaboration with The Royal Meteorological Institute, Belgium and Ennea sounds. The film explores our personal connection with the sky through people who know and understand it so completely; scientists working at the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium. The sky unites and touches us all on this fractured planet. As it crosses borders and boundaries, we explore the precious poetry of this shifting, collective territory and discover the direct impact that climate change is having on the planet.

The duo of Belgian artists Frank&Robbert Robbert&Frank will be presenting GO AWAY SORROW OF THE WORLD at the Erasmus House from 6 November 2026 to 7 March. “Go Away Sorrow of the World” is much more than a title; it is a mantra that that has accompanied Frank Merkx and Robbert Goyvaerts for several years now. Repeated, translated, performed or incarnated in constantly renewed forms, it has followed them across Europe and beyond, changing in contact with the languages, cultures, places and people that they encounter.
Their work is never carved in stone – it moves with the flow of each new experience.

Go Away Sorrow of the World - Robbert&Frank Frank&Robbert
//sabotage
At the turn of the 19th century, workers protested against unfair labour conditions by deliberately working badly, slowing down or degrading production, or putting machinery out of action. Today’s workers —whether they are warehouse staff or startup employees— deploy micro-resistance tactics to defy the algorithm-driven intensification of labour, exposing workplace abuses, outsmarting algorithms and organising collective pushback.
Likewise, contemporary artists embrace sabotage as a tool to dismantle oppressive systems. For them, it’s a form of creative resistance, bridging historical labour struggles with modern battles against exploitation, marginalisation and democratic backsliding.
The exhibition invites reflection on urgent questions: Where are today's creative acts and technologies of unmaking” that disrupt the exploitative mechanisms of capitalism? How do artists mobilise inventiveness, storytelling and mischief to produce a ‘poetry of dysfunction’? And, finally, will the machines join the rebellion?

Portia Zvavahera: Kuzviramba Mamuri
Zimbabwean artist Portia Zvavahera’s large-scale painterly compositions mix printmaking and painting techniques to record scenes, human figures and ghostly creatures that visit her in the otherworldly plane that opens up when the conscious mind goes to rest.
Zvavahera has developed a distinctive artistic language that embodies the visible and invisible force fields born from her own “inner battles.” Her work, which weaves together personal and collective experience, is animated by a syncretic blend of Christian traditions and the spiritual dimensions of Shona culture in Zimbabwe.
The exhibition in WIELS encompasses early paintings exploring themes akin to the artist’s experience of womanhood, dreamscapes incorporating elements of her surroundings such as leaves and lace, all the way to her most recent venture into ceramics. While hinting at traditions of Zimbabweanfiguration, textile patterns and motifs of religious iconography, the work makes space for a shared, affective vocabulary of loss, love, grief, and joy.
Curator: Sofia Dati
The exhibition is organised in collaboration with Fridericianum, Kassel; David Zwirner, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Hong Kong; and Stevenson, Cape Town, Amsterdam.

Atelier ouvert : Around Arié Mandelbaum
With Atelier Ouvert, the Jewish Museum of Belgium extends the exhibition beyond its walls into the surrounding neighbourhood. While the museum building is closed for renovation, around ten paintings by Arié Mandelbaum are presented in venues within walking distance of the museum. Shown in a variety of settings, they engage with new audiences and new contexts.
These displacements create unexpected correspondences, tensions and affinities, allowing the works to resonate beyond the conventional exhibition space and into everyday life.
Born in 1939, Arié Mandelbaum grew up in a Jewish family of Polish origin near Brussels South Station. He created the greater part of his oeuvre in Brussels, where he established and relocated his studios over the decades. Since the late 1950s, his paintings have woven together collective history, political commitment and personal experience. Over time, his visual language has become increasingly distilled, placing traces, erasure and memory at its centre. Fragile figures, overlooked histories and the violence of history emerge in compositions where white is not an absence, but an active force.
The exhibition unfolds across CINEMATEK, Cinéma Galeries, the Maison des Arts et de la Culture Sociale (MACS – Grands Carmes), the Bruegel Cultural Centre, the Brussels Public Social Welfare Centre (CPAS), Maison CFC, Théâtre des Tanneurs and the Jewish Museum of Belgium. Guided tours, public conversations, film screenings and encounters with the artist will accompany the project, extending the resonances the works generate as they move from one place to another.

Cleopatra - The Fate of Egypt
From October 14, 2026, to January 3, 2026, come experience a virtual reality adventure. With Cleopatra: The Destiny of Egypt, families with children aged 8 and up are invited to step back in time to meet the famous Queen of Egypt at the heart of the major events that marked her reign.
This immersive experience by Sandora aims to tell the story of the stateswoman behind the legend.
Amidst political intrigue, grandiose sets, and majestic monuments, embark on a journey to the heart of ancient Egypt alongside Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony.
From the palace of Alexandria to the waters of the Nile, passing through royal ceremonies and major turning points in history, this immersive adventure transports you to the final years of a fascinating civilization.
Equipped with virtual reality headsets, visitors move freely for nearly 30 minutes through full-scale reconstructed sets: Alexandria, the banks of the Nile, royal palaces, and encounters with Caesar and Mark Antony come to life right before their eyes.
What can you experience?
- Visitors witness several defining moments in Cleopatra's life:
- Her secret entry into Caesar's private chambers
- The Rite of Isis, during which a priest presents her with a sacred symbol
- The support left by Caesar before his departure from Egypt to consolidate his power
- A peaceful boat ride up the Nile at sunset
The experience also touches upon one of archaeology's greatest mysteries: the tomb of the famous queen, which remains undiscovered to this day.
The total tour lasts about an hour and combines immersion, historical discovery, and storytelling narrated by Lorànt Deutsch.

Casual/Tease as part of The Memorial to Those Who Did Not Fall in War
The Memorial for Those Who Did Not Fall in War, a nomadic lab developed by Columbia University’s Global Center for Peace Innovation, arrives in Brussels with Casual/Tease.
Curated by Hadas Zahavi, founder of the Columbia Global Center for Peace Innovation.
We think we know what harm looks like. From breaking news to social media, we are saturated with a constant stream of images of victims set against collapsed facades, darkened walls, dust hanging in the air, and streets brought to a halt under rubble. In this flow of images, we learn where to look for casualty and, just as crucially, where not to: within the uninterrupted course of day-to-day routine. Casual/Tease lingers exactly where nothing seems to happen, within the casual continuity of everyday life: a quiet view from a window onto a flowering boulevard, a household ladder leaning within reach, a handmade ceramic vessel ready to hold a bouquet. Each work in Casual/Tease first appears as a small, innocent fragment of daily life, caught in a fleeting moment of ease. Look a little longer, however, and that ease begins to fracture. The window view borrows the gaze of a military drone; the ladder becomes the impossible reach for food amid genocide; the delicate vessel reveals the form of a grenade, handmade in wartime Japan. To look here, then, is not simply to uncover what was hidden, but to confront what perception itself has been trained to overlook.
What comes into view is a dispersed field of implication in which neither injury nor agency remains confined to the site of war. First, the works bring us face to face with those who produce its casualties from spaces that still carry the appearance of casual life: from bright university laboratories associated with human progress where technologies of warfare take shape, through spacious offices where their production is financed and their sale negotiated, along everyday routes of commerce where weapons move among the ordinary flow of goods, to the safe distance from which armies deploy remote warfare technologies, preserving the appearance of everyday life here while bringing it to a halt elsewhere. The exhibition extends this encounter, too, to those who live with war’s casualties in places where everyday life appears to have resumed: walking across poisoned ground, breathing contaminated air, inhabiting landscapes scattered with the remnants of past wars, and living among materials in which military violence quietly persists long after the moment of impact has disappeared from view. In holding these two ends of the same continuum together, Casual/Tease resists the structures that bind them, reaching toward another kind of casual reality; one that leaves no casualties in its wake.

Postcolonial?
The House of European History explores Europe’s colonial legacy in its new temporary exhibition “Postcolonial?”
Starting with the structural foundations of European colonialism, going through how Europeans preserved power as their empires collapsed and in what manner that affected newly independent countries, the exhibition takes us to present times. It invites us to reflect on the ways colonial history still shapes life today.
Following the Second World War, colonial power seemed to crumble. From 1945 to the end of the twentieth century, more than 80 colonies overcame European rule and declared independence. After decades or even centuries of resistance to brutal oppression, their victories appeared to mark a decisive break with the past. But appearances can be deceiving.
How did the colonial matrix of power – the ideas, events, inequalities and injustices born of colonialism – continue to shape the modern world?
Unique artworks, historical objects and personal stories accompany the visitor throughout this much-needed European reckoning with colonialism.

Variations autour des Herbes Folles vol.2
What if weeds deserved a closer look? In Variations autour des Herbes Folles vol.2, Brussels-based Belgian-Polish artist Idalie transforms photographs of plants into vibrant compositions blending digital painting and abstraction. An invitation to rediscover nature through a different lens.
Variations autour des Herbes Folles vol.2
An exhibition by Idalie at Jill Hotel Brussels, presented by Tram{e} and Jill Hotel.
There are plants we pass by every day without really noticing them. Those growing along paths, between paving stones or on the edges of roads. We call them weeds, rarely paying attention to them unless it's time to pull them out.
Idalie, a Belgian-Polish artist based in Brussels, has chosen to take a closer look.
Working from photographs of intertwined plants, she creates compositions in which colours shift, contrast and find new balances. The curves of branches, the veins of leaves and the shapes of nature become elements of a world somewhere between photography, digital painting and abstraction.
With Variations autour des Herbes Folles vol.2, Idalie invites us to lose ourselves in these compositions, be surprised by their colours and question the way we see the world.
After all, what makes a weed a weed?
Opening reception: Thursday, 26 November 2026, 6 PM – 8 PM
An opportunity to discover the artworks and meet the artist.
Exhibition dates: 7 November 2026 – 5 February 2027

Expo Adios Mama Carlota - A Forgotten Empress
A unique tribute to Charlotte, First Princess of Belgium and last Empress of Mexico, exactly 100 years after her death.
Born in Laeken as the first princess of Belgium and married to Archduke Maximilian of Austria, Charlotte ascended the throne as Empress of Mexico in 1864. After a compelling and tragic life, she spent the last sixty years of her life at Bouchout Castle, in the heart of what is now the Botanical Garden. Her story is one of extreme highs and lows — a history in which resilience and vulnerability are inextricably linked. These are themes that not only shaped her life, but are also more relevant than ever in our contemporary society.

This exhibition offers an immersion into the world of artists’ notebooks, bringing together historical and contemporary works. From the studio notebook to the most intimate visual diary, these objects reveal a space of creation where sketches, notes, fragments of text, collages and collected images intersect.
Beyond their preparatory function, notebooks appear here as genuine spaces of self-narration. Whether historical or contemporary, they reveal how artists construct, page by page, a form of self-narrative in which the creative process, personal memory and observation of the world come together. Within these mobile and fragmentary surfaces, gestures, rhythms and temporalities specific to each artistic practice take shape.
The exhibition pays particular attention to notebooks that belong to distinct artistic practices. For certain artists, including Marianne Berenhaut, Sarah Kaliski and Steven Baelen, the notebook is not simply a preparatory tool, but a space of creation in its own right, where drawing, writing and the assemblage of images form works of art. The notebook thus becomes a singular artistic territory, where material experimentation and visual thought develop according to their own continuity.
Alongside these notebooks rooted in established practices, the exhibition will feature notebooks created especially for the occasion by artists from our wider personal and professional circles. Working on Saint-Martin Bookshop notebooks sent to them ahead by the bookshop, these newly created contributions will extend the reflection on the notebook as a living space of creation, bringing together different generations, sensibilities and ways of working.
By bringing together these diverse approaches, the exhibition highlights the notebook as an artistic form at the crossroads of the studio, the personal archive and the diary. It reveals itself here as an autonomous space, conducive to experimental, hybrid and deeply sensitive practices.

2020, embroidered epic
From 27 June 2026 to 3 January 2027, the Brussels City Museum presents a unique work of contemporary embroidery.
From 27 June 2026 to 3 January 2027, the Brussels City Museum presents a unique work of contemporary embroidery. This monumental piece was created in the textile workshop at the Centre for Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Integration into Work in a collective project that brought together artists and participants.
Inspired by the Bayeux Embroidery, often regarded as one of the first journalistic accounts in textile, this contemporary work offers a sensitive reinterpretation of the major events of 2020. By bringing to life these recent events, the project reflects on a tumultuous year that is etched in people’s minds: as was the case with the Battle of Hastings, there is a before and an after Covid.
Half textile art and half social project, this collective work stands for the wealth of different perspectives and the power of shared artistic expression. Discover it in the heart of Brussels, at a museum that promotes dialogue between historical heritage and contemporary creativity. A work created by the people of Brussels that tells of a time we all went through.

Shape of Absence
The Boghossian Foundation presents 'Shape of absence', an exhibition which bears witness to the ongoing heritage tragedy unfolding in Syria since 2011. It is centered on Hrair Sarkissian's monumental installation and the immersive images produced by Iconem.
The Boghossian Foundation presents 'Shape of absence', an exhibition initiated at the invitation of Louma Salamé, which bears witness to the ongoing heritage tragedy unfolding in Syria since 2011. The exhibition is centered on Hrair Sarkissian’s monumental installation 'Stolen Past', presented in dialogue with Iconem’s immersive images of the site of Palmyra. A poignant reflection on disappearance, memory, and resilience.
As cradle of ancient civilisations and major cultural crossroads, Syria has, since 2011, seen its heritage gravely threatened and exploited by war through destruction, looting, and the illegal antiquities trades. The exhibition seeks to bear witness to this ongoing tragedy while underscoring the urgent need to document sites in the face of the loss of millions of archaeological objects.
'Stolen Past', Hrair Sarkissian’s powerful installation, lies at the heart of this enquiry. Trained from an early age in his father’s photographic studio in Damascus, the artist is now recognised as one of the leading conceptual photographers of his generation. Deeply rooted in history and memory, his practice finds a particularly poignant resonance here.
The monumental installation presents forty-eight lithophanes arranged like funerary stelae, creating an atmosphere of contemplation and remembrance. When illuminated, they reveal images reminiscent of black-and-white photographs depicting artefacts that disappeared from the Raqqa Museum in Syria. Founded in 1981, the institution once housed some 8,000 objects spanning a vast historical period. Between 2013 and 2017, the Islamic State took control of the city and systematically looted its museums and collections. Of these thousands of invaluable pieces, only 880 are known to remain today.
By adapting a technique dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, the artist documents these absent remnants through lithophanes produced by means of 3D printing on thin translucent plaques. The project highlights the ways in which absence may be made visible, while more broadly exploring the forms of memory that emerge within communities shaped by violence.
In resonance with this work, the immersive images presented in the exhibition stem from ICONEM’s 3D digitisation and reconstruction technologies, revealing the site of Palmyra in Syria, fragile under the effects of time and conflict. Through monumental remains, sculpted details, and silent expanses, visitors are invited to contemplate not only what endures, but also what has been lost. Absence here becomes a visible form, embodied in traces, ruins, and fragments that continue to tell a story.
At the intersection of art, memory, and innovation, 'Shape of absence' questions our relationship to lost heritage and the capacity of images to preserve what once seemed irretrievably gone.

Jirō Taniguchi. Portrait lointain
The Fondation Folon presents Jirô Taniguchi. Portrait lointain, the first major exhibition devoted to the manga master in Europe in more than a decade.
Presented as part of the celebrations marking 160 years of friendship between Belgium and Japan, it invites visitors to immerse themselves in the sensitive, poetic and deeply human world of the celebrated mangaka. A unique opportunity to discover the work of one of Japan’s greatest comics artists.
The Japanese comic strip artist and screenwriter Jirô Taniguchi (Tottori 1947 – Tokyo 2017) holds a special place in the history of manga. Best known in Europe for A Distant Neighbourhood, The Walking Man and The Summit of the Gods, he developed a deeply personal oeuvre that fused Japanese and European culture. He was a prolific author who explored a wide range of genres over the course of his career: intimate narratives, crime, westerns, historical chronicles, adventure, fantasy, animal stories and even gourmet manga.
Taniguchi’s work is notable for its unusual focus on emotions, silence and the details of everyday life, which transforms themundane into a universal experience. In his extraordinarily delicate drawings, he accords as much importance to the characters as to the scenery, the light and the passage of time. Comprising original comic strips from Japan, this exhibition is a fantastic opportunity to discover this outstanding artist. It explores the major themes that permeate his work.
Although fascinated by European comic strips, Taniguchi remained profoundly Japanese. He helped to project a different image of manga, far removed from the stereotypes associated with the genre. His work appeals to both comic strip enthusiasts and readers who are discovering manga for the first time.

The Autrique House is the ideal setting for a discussion on houses … in a graphic novel!
But when you think about it, what actually is a house? The word 'HOUSE' has several meanings. It can therefore be considered from several different perspectives: architectural, social, domestic, political…
With "Houses in Comic Strips", visitors can discover how comic book artists have explored this concept of a “house”. From History to decoration, and from the inhabitants themselves to the interiors of their homes.
From June 2026 to February 2027, five lectures will broaden the theme and open new perspectives: from the history of the Brussels townhouse to the story of a passionate Victor Horta enthusiast.
With the participation of: Romane Armand, Anne Baltus, Frédéric Bézian, Antoine Carcano, Baudouin Deville, Loïc Gaume, Ben Gijsemans, Jeroen Janssen, Adrien Le Strat, Benoît Peeters, Émilie Plateau, Elisa Sartori, Éléonore Scardoni, Étienne Schréder, François Schuiten, Judith Vanistendael, Patrick Weber

William Kentridge
I am not me, the horse is not mine
William Kentridge began his artistic career at the height of the political struggle against the apartheid regime in his native South Africa. His work bears witness to a profound commitment - at once social, political and poetic - that continues to shape his artistic practice to this day.Kentridge's artistic output ranges from drawings, animated films and sculptures to prints, installations and videos. These works often emerge while he is directing a theatre or opera production, another field to which he devotes his energies. I am not me, the horse is not mine, William Kentridge's solo exhibition at Bozar, offers a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre from the early 1980s to the present day. Several of his major stage productions receive special attention. The exhibition highlights the performative and collaborative nature of Kentridge's practice, in which he allows art to evolve into a space for political inquiry, historical reckoning and poetic transformation.William Kentridge takes over one of Bozar's major exhibition spaces, creates site-specific works, and curates a rich multidisciplinary programme. This is by no means the first time we have welcomed Kentridge to Brussels. He has a long-standing connection with the city, where he premiered his first opera (Faustus in Africa!, 1995), and where he held his first solo exhibition in Europe at Bozar in 1998.
"A journey in which all art forms interact to create performances like no other." Le Soir"How do you capture the work of a versatile artist in a museum gallery? Bozar answers with a theatrical journey through the mind-and studio-ofSouth African artist, animator, thinker and opera director William Kentridge." De TijdA ticket for the exhibitions of William Kentridge, Jean Brusselmans, Edith Dekyndt x Cristóbal Balenciaga or Central. Never Alone gives you free access to the exhibition House of Memory / by Basil Al-Rawi on the same day.

Fashion & Trains. Fashion by rail, since 1835.
To mark the centenary of SNCB-NMBS, Train World presents Fashion & Trains.
From the very beginning, railways have borne witness to the changing fashions of those who travelled by train. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to cast a spotlight not on the train itself, but on the passengers and railway staff, seen through the fresh perspective of their clothes, from 1835 to the present day.

This journey also offers the chance to admire superb railway posters, each capturing the spirit of travel and revealing how closely the worlds of rail and fashion have long been intertwined.
As an introduction to Fashion & Trains, four young designers were invited to imagine the clothes worn by the travellers of today and tomorrow.

René Magritte Museum (house) & Abstract Art Museum
House where René Magritte (1898−1967) lived and worked from 1930 to 1954, which shows the apartment of the painter as it used to be, as well as watercolours, drawings and paintings, and hundreds of personal documents, photographs and letters.
The René Magritte Museum occupies the house in which the Belgian surrealist painter worked nearly 24 years of his life. On the ground floor the museum presents the apartment where the painter lived and worked from 1930 to 1954. A biographical exhibition is spread on the two other floors. The period spent at the rue Esseghem, the only house which is open to the public since 1999, remains the most fascinating one for anybody who wishes to approach the painter. An Abstract Art Museum will soon complete the René Magritte Museum in Jette (Brussels). This surprising pairing will remind visitors of the close links Magritte had with the Abstraction.
