Little words from the heart

To throw the words is an open-case operation aiming to transplant goodness into the heart of society.
The fluttering of these small words disrupts the daily life on the street with love and positivity.
Simple words, full of good intentions and the hope to make them shine through everyone.

THE NEXT PERFORMANCE ART GENERATION

Since several years, visual arts schools in French-Speaking Belgium dedicate part of their curriculum to live art: a response to the new dynamics of these practices in the professional field. One can see new generations of artists appearing, taking over the Belgian and international scenes of performance art, with individual or collective works, multiplying collaborations… They don’t make performance art like their elders, they invent new forms, which need new showing spaces.

Partners

A project of ENSAV-La Cambre, in partnership with erg and in corealisation with Studio Thor. Thanks to the suggestions from Le 75, ARBA/ESA (ISAC), ARTS², Beaux-Arts de Liège, Académie Beaux-Arts Tournai. With the support of KANAL – Centre Pompidou, the Wallonia-Brussels Center (Paris), FiPA-ESA (Financing of artistic projects in Higher Artistic Education schools), the Ministry of Higher Education of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation an of the Embassy of Spain in Belgium.
