Energia

A Cross-Cultural Encounter Through Photography

Curated by Benedicte Goesaert and Kathleen Weyts, in collaboration with Glean Magazine

Energia is an exhibition dedicated to the artistic dialogue between Belgium and Brazil. It offers a glimpse into the artistic presence in the Belgian-Brazilian landscape, exploring the various forms of energy that emerge through stories, experiences, knowledge, encounters, exchanges and, of course, artworks.

The concept of ‘Energia’ sparks conversations about the human condition, spirituality, nature, the body, politics, movement, creation, resilience, and visual poetry.

The show brings together works by around thirty Belgian and Brazilian artists, including Kasper Bosmans, Elen Braga, Dirk Braeckman, Anna Bella Geiger, Otobong Nkanga, Pélagie Gbaguidi, Lia D Castro, Antonio Obá, and Cildo Meireles.
