‘Renaissance. A new artistic and discursive platform’

15 Dec.'17
- 09:30

Symposium

Centrale for Contemporary Art, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Studio Luc Tuymans, WIELS and BOZAR launch a new platform as a recurring artistic event in the city of Brussels, the capital of Belgium and Europe, as of 2019-2020.

Keenly aware of the history of other large-scale recurring art events, the partners organize an international symposium focused on the development of these manifestations. The symposium will openly propose Brussels as the venue for the development of this radically innovative new platform.

This event is organized in collaboration with UNESCO as part of their broader investigation on culture and its impact on the future of urban environment.

This initiative is part of the Trauma & Revival project, funded by the EU. Trauma & Revival offers an ambitious journey that showcases and reflects upon the ties between the East and the West during the Cold War and today. Between 2015 and 2018, six partners will engage one another in the interest of international cooperation, bringing together artists, intellectuals and citizens from across the continent. Trauma & Revival offers a stimulating platform to revisit a shared history, change today’s perceptions and imagine new forms of cultural dialogue. It echoes the current context in Europe. Through exhibitions, artist residencies, video programmes, workshops, conferences, roundtables, and a digital timeline, this project will raise meaningful questions about our current relationships in order to move towards a common future.
