From 15 September to 2 December 2001, during equally disturbing times as we are experiencing right now, I organized the group exhibition (They Say This Is The) Place – A positioning in two locations in Antwerp: the Koningin Fabiolazaal (Queen Fabiola Hall) and the nearby, newly renovated Sint Jansplein (Saint Johns Square).

Sara Bomans in Niemand is een Eiland

Kunstenfestival Damme presents collected stories every year. The power of the word and the power of the image play the main roles. With a combination of literature, poetry, visual art, photography, philosophy, heritage, nature and gastronomy, the Kunstenfestival… Read More
