Alexandria: Past Futures
Alexandria: Past Futures, an exhibition of some 200 artifacts from major European museum collections, highlights one of the greatest cities of the ancient Mediterranean at the peak of its cultural influence. The exhibition provides a fresh perspective on Alexandria, one of the great centres of ancient civilisation, and sheds light on its urban, political and religious organisations, the everyday life of its citizens, and its influence on science and philosophy, which spanned from the third century B.C. to the fourth century of our era. Some twenty contemporary works of art enhance the theme of the exhibition and, thanks to a carefully designed scenography, provide an analytical and poetic backdrop to its various parts. In addition, incursions into other periods – Byzantine, Arabic, Modern – will enrich the focus of the exhibition and provide a more comprehensive understanding of Alexandria throughout history. Co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union in the framework of the international project 'Alexandria: (Re)activating Common Urban Imaginaries'.

Design and Transformation. Stories of Czech design 1990 – 2020
In the frame of the Czech Presidency of the EU, the exhibition “Design and Transformation. Stories of Czech Design 1990-2020” presents the Czech Republic as a place where innovations that are beneficial in an international context are born and where locally specific traditions are also preserved and valued.
The exhibition explores the selected projects of thirteen successful companies that reflect the upheavals of Czech history and have a long legacy of products known far beyond the borders of the Czech Republic such as the international car manufacturer Škoda and furniture producer TON, as well as other young companies. Furthermore, the show will also pay homage to more traditional Czech domains, for example glassmaking.
To accompany the exhibition, a presentation of the Prague Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design will be included, which features a video projection on the facade of the Prague House in Brussels.
Main Organizer: UMPRUM Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague together with Moravian Gallery in Brno and the Design Museum Brussels.

Shimabuku - Instrumental
Can art be instrumental or useful? Shimabuku’s work gives this recurrent demand an absurd spin, while reaffirming art’s essential role in the realm of the imagination.
Shimabuku's work turns our view of daily life on its head, enabling us to see things from a new perspective, infused with surreal humour and playful beauty. Taking various forms – from transformed objects to actions documented on video, often accompanied by short poetic texts – Shimabuku’s engaging projects reveal his curiosity about the world and awaken ours. For his WIELS exhibition, his first in Belgium, Shimabuku presents a selection of recent works, together with little-known or rarely shown existing pieces.
The exhibition’s title Instrumental highlights the importance of music for Shimabuku, as evidenced by its central role in the videos shown here. It also evokes the many instruments that Shimabuku creates, from manual tools and ingenious inventions to functioning musical instruments: for example, using an archer’s bow to play the double bass, transforming an instrument of war to play jazz.

Arié Mandelbaum
The Arie Mandelbaum exhibition is an original creation of the Jewish Museum of Belgium. Frequently exhibited, the work of painter Arié Mandelbaum (°1939, Brussels) had not yet been the subject of a retrospective. For the first time, old productions and recent creations engage in dialogue here, in a journey which starts in 1957 and ends in 2022.
The Arie Mandelbaum exhibition is an original creation of the Jewish Museum of Belgium. Frequently exhibited, the work of painter Arié Mandelbaum (°1939, Brussels) had not yet been the subject of a retrospective. For the first time, old productions and recent creations engage in dialogue here, in a journey which starts in 1957 and ends in 2022.
Arié Mandelbaum, the son of Polish Jewish immigrants, began painting at the age of sixteen. As from the early 1960s, he was considered one of the most promising talents in Belgian painting. His idiosyncratic and compelling oeuvre continued to develop over the decades that followed. After the heightened expressionism of his early days, greater restraint followed as of the 1980s, giving rise to works of disturbing fragility, which he has created to this day.
The exhibition is structured around different themes. We first discover the way in which the artist deals with intimacy, before politics – especially the anti-authoritarian protest of 1968 – telescopes his soul-searching. The visit continues with the exploration of the self-portrait and the body, two themes through which we see the work of Arié Mandelbaum transform into a reflection on trace, absence and erasure. Political violence, particularly related to (neo)colonialism, then made a marked return in his work. Over the past two decades, it has become increasingly influenced by the memory of the Shoah – as a return to what was repressed in this child of the war, who will remain a rebel painter all his life.
The works presented come from the collections of the Jewish Museum of Belgium, but also from institutions such as the Museum of Ixelles, the Museum of the National Bank of Belgium or the collections of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. A number of private collections have also been mobilized, in particular those of private individuals and the Belfius Art Collection.

View from my window
A photo exhibition displaying the experience of connecting worldviews in a time of isolation.
Initiated in March 2020 by Barbara Duriau, the 3 million member Facebook group View from my window collects intimate and collective testimonies from millions of confined people around the world. At the Atomium, from March 24th, the temporary exhibition "View from my window" gathers a selection of more than 400 photographs among the 200,000 images from this Belgian success story with a worldwide echo.
From New York to Moscow, Brussels, Sao Paulo or Darjeeling... Every day, from their window, the members of this 2.0 community capture and share their view.
The exhibition "View from my window" translates a human experience and offers a sensitive and poetic dive into the intimacy of all those who have gone through this very special event. The exhibition, which is based on audio-visual installations, prints, webcams and time-lapses, gives a playful attention to the visit.
Ordinary or breathtaking, each photo is accompanied by a simple caption or a powerful life story.
Through this exhibition, the Atomium is delighted to dedicate its spaces and its exceptional panorama of the Belgian capital, the cradle of Europe, to a humanist project conceived as a powerful invitation to share and travel.

Kidorama, 200 year of children's fashion
Children’s fashion is healthier than ever. More inclusive, more environmentally friendly, with an emphasis on handmade items: new labels appear each year. But dressing a child is not always easy! Through a trajectory that is both thematic and chronological, this new exhibition casts its eye on current fashion in the light of children’s wear since 1820.
Children’s fashion is healthier than ever. More inclusive, more environmentally friendly, with an emphasis on handmade items: new labels appear each year. But dressing a child is not always easy! Fashion is first and foremost a social phenomenon and children also care about what they wear.
Through a trajectory that is both thematic and chronological, this new exhibition casts its eye on current fashion in the light of children’s wear since 1820.
By delving into its collections, recently enriched by Belgian items as well as several prestigious loans, the museum raises questions about issues such as construction of gender, the development of mixed or unisex fashion, imitation of adult fashion as well as the growing interest in the luxury industry for kids. More than just a fashion exhibition, Kidorama tells the story of the place of the child and the development of his/her personality within our society.
An exhibition to enjoy through children’s eyes!
The exhibition is of course aimed at adults but also at children, discover all the activities of the museum on our website (interactive modules, coloring book ...)

Magical Theatres
The paper theatre, miniature theatre or table top theatre was once a source of pleasure for young and old. These days, it has sunk into oblivion. The "Magical Theatres" exhibition brings back to life the magical world of this toy, its fantastic colourful decors and its small paper actors.
The Halle Gate opens the doors onto a world full of stories, from Shakespeare plays to the tales of the Grimm Brothers.
These delightful works of art, that appeared two centuries ago, reflect the magnificent European theatre stages and give insight in the private world of 19th-century families. The exhibition reveals complete theatres from this period and wonderful uncut original paper stages. Creations by contemporary artists are also on display. Visitors will be amazed by virtual dramatisations. Younger visitors are guided by a paper puppet, Puss in Boots.
The Magical Theatres exhibition is situated on the third floor of the magnificent Halle Gate Museum building. In a permanent presentation, this vestige of the second surrounding wall of Brussels reveals the period in which the city was fortified and offers impressive panoramic views from its rampart walk. The annual temporary exhibitions focus on different aspects of day-to-day life in the past and present, and often find their inspiration in the European Ethnology collections of the Royal Museums of Art and History.

Brussels Biennale - Neoclassic
The Neo-Classical style can be found all over Brussels, in grand public buildings and more modest private homes, and in statues, streetscapes, parks, ... . They all bear witness to the major changes to the cityscape in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The Brussels Biennale - Neoclassic (BBN) aims to promote this often forgotten heritage over two weekends in October.
On the traces of neoclassic architecture in Brussels!
The Neo-Classical style can be found all over Brussels, in grand public buildings and more modest private homes, and in statues, streetscapes and parks and open spaces. They all bear witness to the major changes to the cityscape in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. However, in many cases they have been abandoned, neglected and submerged in later developments, so that many of us no longer pay attention to them and have allowed them to fade into the background.
The Brussels Biennale - Neoclassic (BBN) aims to promote this often forgotten heritage over two weekends in October, every other year.
At the heart of the festival is a programme of guided tours of Neo-Classical interiors that are not normally open to the public, offering a unique opportunity to (re)discover some hidden architectural gems of Brussels and to put the Neo-Classical style centre stage.
Other activities will support these guided tours: outdoor walking tours, seminars, events for reduced-mobility participants and school groups, etc.
Two weekends to gain an insight into an aspect of the city we often miss in our daily lives.
The second edition of the BBN will take place from 1 to 9 October 2022.

On Display. Designing the shop experience.
As an object of design and architecture, the store shapes our urban landscape and permeates popular culture. A place of exchange and interaction, it plays a significant role in the diffusion of design and interior design trends during the 20th century. By combining small scale and ephemeral character, the store reveals itself as a favorable terrain for experimentation and expression of modernity. More than just a place, retail is a social marker and a space for innovation. Reflecting the evolutions of our society and an environment favorable to their representation, the store offers a look at modern and contemporary aesthetics. From Adolf Loos to Marc Newson via René Herbst or Ettore Sottsass, “On Display. Designing the shop experience” questions the use of design and architecture within a visual and furniture identity specific to the store.

Miradas de Mujeres Isabelle de Borchgrave X Frida Kahlo
Miradas de Mujeres (Women’s Gaze), highlights the view of Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave on Frida Kahlo, a woman’s perspective on the artist’s role in society, and their shared love of fabric, patterns and colours.
Isabelle de Borchgrave’s approach explores an often-ignored facet of Frida Kahlo's intimate personality, surprisingly more cheerful and radiant than her artistic work might suggest. By using more than 4 kilometers of paper and cardboard painted by hand, she created dresses, carpets, furniture, trees, recreating the unique universe of the Mexican artist and her iconic house, the Casa Azul (The Blue House).
The exhibition invites the public to dive into the joyful universe entirely made of paper of Isabelle de Borchgrave and to be inspired by the generosity of this contemporary artist whose creative practice remains resolutely incomparable.

Multiple (hi)stories, Multiple futures - Ecopolis 2022
Social, ecological and economic crises force us to think about a radically different way of living. "The world is not about to end; we are already living with a different world," writes philosopher Bayo Akomolafe, speaker at the eighth edition of Ecopolis where artists, thinkers and doers break open our frames. This year, Ecopolis brings stories that depict an inclusive and sustainable future for this new world.
“Thinking out of the box is exactly how the box thinks. We are the boxes we strive to out-think,” writes philosopher Bayo Akomolafe, speaker at the eighth edition of Ecopolis where artists, thinkers and doers break open our frames. Social, ecological and economic crises force us to think about a radically different way of living. Can unheard stories help us with that? Stories that link different generations, geographical areas that are far apart or ancient knowledge and technology. Can activism as a form of love take us further than doomsday thinking? "The world is not about to end; we are already living with a different world," Akomolafe continues. Ecopolis brings stories that depict an inclusive and sustainable future for this new world.
Ecopolis is the annual rendezvous for those committed to a sustainable future. Ecopolis is diverse, international and interactive. The eighth edition starts in the afternoon and goes on until late in the evening. Expect walks, lectures, discussions between writers, academics and citizens, workshops, literature and documentaries. Kaaitheater has already invited makers Enkidu Khaled and Joachim Robbrecht to contribute their work on the impact of war on the climate. At the crossroads of performance and discourse, they will present stories from Iraq, Kenya, Ukraine... Last season Khaled and Robbrecht worked together on the project God 99, which premiered at Kaaitheater.
PROGRAMME
WORKSHOPS & WALKS
13:30 Minority walk with Omar Fassi Fehri (EN/FR)
The Minority Walk is a tour of the center of Brussels to discover the public space of the capital, told through the lens of how the oppression of various minority groups is still taking place, in different ways, representations, mechanisms and images. (starting point at AB)
13:30 The Brussels of witches: feminist guided walk (EN/FR)
In the 14th century, as we move out of the ‘dark’ Middle Ages and into the Modern Age and the Renaissance, women are plunged into darkness – or rather into the flames of the stake. How were women’s skills and knowledge transformed into acts of witchcraft? hat does our urban public space reveal about that time… and about witches today? Find out in this guided walk by art historian Chiara Tomalino from L’architecture qui dégenre. (starting point at L'oreille Tourbillonnante, Calder (Corner of Rue du Musée/Coudenberg - 1000 Brussels)
14:00 Workshop ‘Limits to Growth’ (NL/EN)
Floods, forest fires, melting glaciers, etc.: we are increasingly faced with natural disasters. The consequences are disastrous and indisputable: we are exceeding the limits of our planet. To keep our planet livable, we urgently need to rethink our way of living. In this workshop, in line with the Buen Vivir philosophy, we will look together for ways in which we can live with fewer non-renewable resources, with the aim of taking a critical look at our consumer society and actively considering alternative models of society. (together with Catapa) (starting point at AB)
PANELGESPREKKEN & PERFORMANCE
16:00 Colonisation as exploitation of people and nature
Colonalisation is more than a system of dominance over a population and territory. In this panel discussion, writers and artists from various backgrounds will discuss what this means and will focus on the many narratives that survived colonialism while offering alternatives. They will talk about what the ’decolonialisation’ movement involves.With: Dalilla Hermans (journalist, writer, theatre maker), Báyò Akómoláfè (celebrated international speaker, posthumanist thinker, and essayist) Jumana Emil Abboud (Palestinian artist), Mihnea Tănăsescu (political theoretician) and with Olave Nduwanje (writer, lawyer and activist) as moderator.
18:00 Different jobs, one planet. Stories of strong commitment
Whatever your studies, whatever your job, there are always plenty of opportunities for strong commitment to creating a better world. An architect need not only design houses but may also promote a more feminine approach to urban life. A lawyer may lead the way in the fight against chemical pollution of the environment. And what about a financial analyst’s call for blowing up the banks?With: Apolline Vranken (architect), Jérémy Désir-Weber (financial analyst), and Eric Corijn (cultural philosopher and social scientist)
21:00 TANK TINK / ONE: De impact van oorlog op het milieu (première)
War turns gigantic areas into inhospitable no-go zones. Its impact on humans as well as on nature and biodiversity is dramatic. Ecopolis will feature playwrights and performers Enkidu Khaled and Joachim Robbrecht in the premiere of their play on the impact of war on the environment. Along with artists, journalists and activists from different corners of the world, they examine the relationship between warfare and environmental crises in a hybrid and polyphonic lecture-performance.

ARTONOV Festival
Freeing architecture : Eighth edition of the Festival ARTONOV
The eighth edition of Festival ARTONOV is dedicated to creative freedom within architecture. Can we free architecture from its utilitarian function and offer an experience of the space itself? Can the performance of an artist in a particular space accentuate this feeling of freedom and open new dimensions? The architectural choices proposed in this edition all share a subtle interaction between interior and exterior and between experimentation and the theory, knowledge and technology upon which their poetic dimension rests.
Art Nouveau and Art Deco remain the guiding thread of the festival but open up to contemporary architecture. In the past few years, Brussels has produced some inspiring architectural innovation. Ensuring that the city maintains a strong identity going into the future is more challenging than ever before.
Human beings never feel at home in the infinite. The house is our corner of the world, our primary universe. But as emphasised by Gaston Bachelard in his book on the poetic nature of space, the home is also an opportunity to use our imagination and even to create poetry. And poetry owes much to freedom.
This year, we give the spotlight to architects Philippe Samyn and Olivier Dwek. This edition also highlights in particular the work of women, with creations by Isabella Soupart, Satchie Noro and Bintou Dembélé. The latter will present a crossover of hip-hop, urban art and African dance. The performances by Satchie Noro will be preceded by in-depth workshops with diverse audiences.
With Satchie Noro and Silvain Ohl’s giant origami in the centre of Brussels, we will witness the transformation of a public space in the name of art.
We will have the chance to visit two exceptional collections, the New Hope Gallery with furniture by Georges Nakashima and the Vanhaerents family collection of contemporary art. This corresponds perfectly with the festival’s vision to incorporate art collections as part of its interdisciplinary approach.
The Brasserie Surréaliste also features among the new venues for this edition. A local and responsible brewery that has made its name thanks to a spirit of transgression and deviation from the norm. Here, beauty springs from the unexpected with the new creation by Isabella Soupart and Guy Vandromme, specially conceived for this space.
We once again invite you to embark on a journey of the imagination with the Festival ARTONOV, to discover the taste of freedom and new poetic dimensions throughout this eighth edition!
