TELLING TALES. TOWARDS ANTIFASCIST FUTURES



Stories are an integral part of worldmaking; they inform and shape our way of
relating to the world and to others, while drawing out a picture of the good,
the evil and the misfit. Controlling the means of story-making is a central
stake in any authoritarian or fascist regime, in order to depict a world where
there is no alternative to its withholding of power.     Stories and history are
monitored through school curricula, political propaganda, univocal tradition,
censorship in the arts and the media. Nevertheless, stories also circulate
through the anecdotes we relate to friends, the stories we tell children at
bedtime, the stories we secretly keep to ourselves or the ones we whisper on a
pillow. “Narrating the world is narrating how we intend to modify it”, this
quote by Wu Ming opens a chapter of the recently published book 'Entering
Antiracist Pedagogies', reminding us that stories, and their transmission, are a
powerful means for social change and for the transformation of dominant
paradigms.   How to be multiple when togetherness is perceived as a threat? How
to carry on transmitting quiet narratives when the loud and spectacular take up
all the space? Telling Tales gathers artists, teachers, researchers and
storytellers whose practices resist the monopoly of a single narrative
characteristic of fascist rule.   The intimate correlation of author and
authority – two words that share the same etymological root – is made visible in
how power seeks ownership of narratives. With this programme, we wish to
question and challenge monolithic, often-times simplified discourses with an
invitation to delve into the deep and fugitive waters of memory. During three
days, we share multiple storylines and testimonies while practising a sense of
togetherness through touch, listening and imagination.       With Sónia Vaz
Borges & Filipa César, Endi Tupja, Jota Mombaça, Costanza Spina, nadjim
bigou-fathi and soto labor, Myriam Lefkowitz, Alex Reynolds, Panamby,
Mlondiwethu Dubazane, Hoda Siahtiri, Peggy Pierrot, Manel Ben Boubaker, Shayma

BELGIAN JAZZ FESTIVAL

A festival to celebrate the diversity of Jazz in Belgium

Small country in size, and strong in this abundance of Jazz musicians, the
Belgian scene has this particularity of mixing styles, origins (many foreign
students decide to stay in our Country) and generations which undoubtedly best
defines what is Belgian Jazz. We decided on this name in English, for linguistic
reasons specific to Belgium but also to underline this international side of
exchange which characterizes this music and also our Country. Finally, by
Belgian Jazz we mean any leading musician with his residence in Belgium and who
dedicates his artistic practice to this universal music, where the only rule,
regardless of the rhythm, the instrumentation, etc., is to let the room for
interaction through improvisation.

BRUSSELS JEWELLERY WEEK



From 25 April to 5 May, Brussels will be all about contemporary jewellery! For
its second edition, the Brussels Jewellery Week brings together established and
emerging artists, collectors and an international audience. Brussels Jewellery
Week aims to highlight contemporary jewellery as a creative and innovative
craft. In addition to the main exhibition at MAD Brussels, tours, lectures and
workshops will be organised at various locations around the city. PARTICLE[S] In
physics, "elementary particles" are the smallest elements that form the matter
and forces of the universe: in constant motion, these small entities are
capable, by fusion, of forming large ensembles, thus forming the basis of all
creation and transformation. In grammar, a particle is a small unchanging
element: fixed, unassuming, it inflects the meaning of a word by connecting with
it. The concept of PARTICLE[S] can be approached from a purely scientific or
technical standpoint. But it can also be seen, in a world threatened by
pollution, as a metaphor for many human interactions that ultimately form a
critical mass. In the world of contemporary jewelry, we see that each material
consists of the same tiny particles that together, in subtle arrangements, form
a work of art.

HANGAR FESTIVAL

transport, bike or car, with parking available. It will welcome approximately
4,000 people a day. With the help of the Red Cross and Brussels-based prevention

participants can enjoy a tasty experience offered by the various food trucks on

Kunstenfestivaldesarts is an international performing arts festival dedicated to
contemporary theatre, dance, performance and visual arts. Every year, it takes
place in Brussels during three weeks in May.

Contemporary: the festival supports both established and up-and-coming artists
with the creation of bold artistic work rooted in today’s world. International:
artists from all over the world are invited to confront us with diverse artistic
practices and perspectives. Every year, the programme includes around thirty
artistic projects that can be experienced and understood in a whole range of
ways. It is intended for anyone who is keen to make discoveries. Nomadic: the
festival takes place in around thirty venues in Brussels – theatres, cultural
centres, museums and public spaces – but also venues that are not well known by
audiences from Brussels or abroad. Of Brussels: the festival is organised in
dialogue with several French and Dutch-speaking cultural partners and local
associations in Brussels. It aims to reflect the diversity of Brussels. Since it
started back in 1994, it has encouraged mobility between audiences, cultures and
neighbourhoods. Kunstenfestivaldesarts stimulates debate and dialogue. Every
year, it hosts a temporary Free School dedicated to sharing knowledge and
artistic practices. Through its Communities projects, the festival also runs
initiatives that allow students, associations, performing arts professionals or
interested members of the public to connect during and beyond the festival.

"In the beginning (6 years ago), there was Rosa or Rosa Quartet. We chose this
name to evoke the flower, the rose, velvety above its thorns, an emblem of love
and a certain sensuality. For us, the rose was a metaphor for the delicacy of
many Samba songs born in the favélas of the hearts of poets who sometimes
couldn't read or write. This is how the Rosa Quartet was born, perched on our
growing love of Brazil and its musical and popular traditions. Planted and
rooted by a great love story, branched out by this ever-growing love and
gratitude towards each participant and musician, Rosa Quartet undulated
innocently, nourished by the stories that happened to us together and
separately, life, its gifts, its stumbles, its losses and its surprises... After
6 years, Rosa Quartet has grown up and presents itself to you under this new,
equally delicate name : Amorosa. Amorosa means 'in love', and if you split it in
two, 'Amo Rosa' means 'I love Rosa'... And as good news doesn't come alone,
Amorosa is preparing a new album, 'Petit Soleil', made up entirely of
compositions, to be released in 2024." Stéphanie Scultore

FLOWER CARPET

This huge carpet of begonias covers the Grand-Place every two years. The cut
flowers are arranged directly on the pavement of the square by specialist
horticulturalists from Ghent. The resulting pattern of colours can be viewed
from the balcony of the town hall.

Every other summer, on the weekend of August 15th, the Flower Carpet offers a
chance to stroll across the Grand-Place, a jewel of Gothic architecture, to
inhale the fragrant scent of the begonias and admire its details. This
extraordinary spectacle is made complete by a visit to the balcony of the Town
Hall, which offers a wide-angle view of the work. A musical theme is especially
composed for each edition. A concert is given on the Grand-Place every evening
and accompanies a magnificent sound and light show.
