Despite the difficult circumstances, the culture sector is thinking ahead. Here, we would like to share some exciting initiatives of fellow culture houses in our neighbourhood.
On 27 January 2021 Vooruit will open its doors as a 'museum'. 'Universal Tongue' is a project by visual artist Anouk Kruithof. She collected over 8800 dance videos on YouTube and Instagram, in collaboration with a team of fifty researchers spread all over the world. Each researcher received a symbolic payment of one euro for each video delivered. They also wrote a short text about the dance styles that appeared in the videos they selected. The total length of the video material found was no less than 250 hours.
Luc Keppens and Prof. Dr. Marc Noppen will discuss the book 'Vaccines in preparation: What world after the pandemic?' Taking the publication as a starting point, the conversation will zoom out to the impact on culture and the themes of change and adaptation of the post-covid world. Ann Overbergh, director of Kunstenpunt, will moderate the discussion.
