This autumn, europalia dedicates an arts festival to Georgia. The starting point for this edition is the country’s fascinating culture and the art scene of its bustling capital, Tbilisi, alongside that of lesser-known regions of this country located in the Southern Caucasus. Starting 4 October 2023, visitors can enjoy a rich programme of exhibitions, performances, literature, concerts, film and dance and theatre productions
across Belgium.
The tradition of polyphony or multi-voice singing – very different from Western polyphony – is the first major theme running through the programme. Renowned Georgian choirs will be heard in numerous projects and at various venues. In the broader sense of polyphony, europalia gives a voice to, among others, Georgian women and youngsters, and to lesser-known traditions, regions and artists. The programme is also inspired by supras – gatherings around richly filled tables, accompanied by chants and speeches from toastmasters – and contemporary artists are challenged to critically explore this living tradition in interdisciplinary creations.
The second major theme is remembrance. How do you, as a society and as an individual, deal with memories of the Soviet era or recent and ongoing conflicts? Europalia brings artists into dialogue to discuss these topics, including the practice of commemoration. Georgians have a unique approach to loss and grief, as seen in their various traditions.
The programme runs until January 14th, 2024 and features more than 50 events, including many new, interdisciplinary creations.

Brussels Biennale of Eclectic Architecture (BBEA)
Join us over two weekends to explore Eclectic architecture in Brussels!
On the traces of eclectic architecture in Brussels!
Taking its inspiration from many different historical styles at the same time as upholding artistic creativity, the eclectic movement (1830-1914) was based on a vision of the city and architecture that brought together art, history and innovation. This heritage-blending movement fully took into account the diversity of its (re)sources, and ran parallel with a precise understanding of older architectural heritage and a desire to create unique and even iconic designs. It began against a background of unprecedented urban growth at a key moment for the capital city of the newly independent Belgium. The eclectic movement created a new urban look, developed around buildings that wanted to set themselves apart from each other, while at the same time all being involved in the expansion of the city.
This subtle combination of history and artistic freedom deserves to be put back into the spotlight to better appreciate the physiognomy of Brussels and also to inspire and enrich contemporary architecture and restoration!
Similar to the Brussels Neo-Classical Biennale (BBN), the Brussels Biennale of Eclectic Architecture (BBEA) will offer an unusual programme over two weekends in October 2023!
At the heart of the BBEA will be guided tours of the interiors of buildings not normally open to the public, offering unique opportunities to explore some of the most architecturally important heritage buildings in Brussels. These guided tours will be complemented by a variety of activities: outdoor guided tours, seminars, and activities for families with children, school groups and people with reduced mobility.
The BBEA will promote a flexible definition of Eclecticism, so as to include a wide diversity of architectural designs.

ARTONOV Festival
An interdisciplinary festival that combines architecture and heritage with multiple artistic performances, inviting both artists and visitors to exceptional venues.
For its ninth edition, the Festival ARTONOV will focus on the concept of beauty of the Threshold and aesthetics of Limits.
In the East, especially in China and Japan, the notion of ‘setting limits’ is crucial to the conception of space-time and underlines the architectural aesthetics of homes, sanctuaries and even the design of gardens, landscapes and paintings.
In the West, the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements embraced this concept to develop a whole new architectural style. In 2023, a year dedicated to Art Nouveau, we thought it would be particularly interesting to ask our guest artists to focus on this notion.
This year’s programme then can be seen a sort of perambulation through the ideas of interior and exterior, between venues and artistic disciplines. What constitutes the ideal abode? What does the ‘elsewhere’ or the landscape represent in architecture? Posing these questions leads us to rethink the world around us.
Join us for the ninth edition of the ARTONOV Festival to cross the Threshold and uncover the fascinating and vibrant universe that lies beyond.

Tim Burton's Labyrinth
Enter and discover the extraordinary world of filmmaker Tim Burton!
Enjoy this captivating immersive experience, as you delve into the mind of Tim Burton. This is a unique opportunity to access his inner world and his creative process by discovering hundreds of original works by the director.
Each room will lead you to a unique experience and only you will decide your path...
Tim Burton's Labyrinth combines an exhibition, an immersive experience and film scenes. This maze was created in collaboration with Tim Burton and his team. The main objective is to offer a magical, unique experience to every visitor. As its name suggests, the experience consists of a maze that invites you to get lost in it while tracing your own route. Tim Burton himself described it as "a fantastic fair", a surprising journey through all his films.
Although each visit is unique depending on which door you open, we guarantee that you will visit at least the most important rooms. A standard visit gives access to 15 rooms based on the most emblematic universes of Tim Burton.
On average, each room contains 10 original works, some of which have never been exhibited before. During your own original journey through the labyrinth, you will discover a total of at least 150 original works by Tim Burton!
In addition to the original works, you will see life-size characters, sets, costumes, texts and animations on your journey. Take your time to appreciate each of the elements, because once you leave a room, you cannot return to it.
We also add that there are "twin rooms" which, although they do not have exactly the same content, belong to the same universe. So don't think you're missing out if you can't see everything!

Filem'on Film Festival
Filem'On - the International Film Festival for Young Audiences - is entering its 17th edition, with a 10-day festival from 25 October to 4 November 2023. As every year, the festival presents a unique program to schools, families and associations in top cultural venues in Brussels.

There are Belgian, European and international competition sections, and many films are shown in the presence of the director or one of the actors. There are also plenty of fun workshops and ciné-concerts specially organized for children and young people. In this edition, as in the creation of film, there will be played with illusions. Illusions that fool you and make it appear that you are seeing something other than what is in reality. This includes optical illusions, but also critical looks that pierce through the illusions in our society. In this theme we also think of magic and tricks that make you want to solve riddles. An edition Filem'on film festival where nothing is what it seems and sharp eyes go on discovery!
