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.

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.

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. MAD Brussels Brussels Exhibition Brussels Jewellery Week HANGAR FESTIVAL Our 2-day festival along the Brussels Canal is back for its third edition on the 27th & 28th April.

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.

We chose this name to evoke the flower, the rose, velvety above its thorns, an emblem of love and a certain sensuality. For us, (...) "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."

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.
