Halaqat - Politics of Spaces and Bodies.

Halaqat - in Arabic means multiple links and circles – aims to strengthen entanglements and build bridges between both regions. Diverse voices of emerging and renowned artists, cultural actors and experts are brought together to approach a number of themes from their own perspective.

From dance, projections, reflexions, mirrors, shadows, bodies, movements, Logos to analyzing how chess games played irl or against an AI could make us graciously and fiercly draw our path through the Illusion and our emotions.

Sublime moments and Beauty shared by amazingly talented Human Beings.

9 artists from the Arab world and Europe - choreographers, performers and sound designers - explore with the Halaqat theme of Politics of Spaces and Bodies.

Over the course of six weeks, spread over two periods, the artists are invited to Brussels to exchange, explore their body language, and perform. Their artistic proposals bring a rich range of contemporary artistic practices, and offer a new space of togetherness, where the intimate, and the political are highly interconnected. Their performances transgress the realities at the crossroads of multiple disciplines to open up new futures perspectives.

Light art festival takes to London´s streets

LONDON: London´s dark winter nights will shine a little brighter starting Thursday, as a nighttime art exhibition featuring a range of publicly displayed works that use light as a medium gets underway.

Lumiere London features over 50 works by British and overseas artists, located in public spaces, buildings and on the streets.

The artists who have created works include Tracey Emin, Alaa Minawi, Julian Opie and Miguel Chevalier.

“We´ve basically taken the centre of London and turned it into a giant, outdoor art gallery,” said Helen Marriage, artistic director of Lumiere London.

“There are 58 installations all created by artists working with light in wonderful and extraordinary ways and people are free to wander; it´s free to experience.

“The works themselves comprise a range of installations, including a giant desk lamp in King´s Cross, a triangular tunnel of light on the South Bank and one of London´s iconic telephone boxes turned into an illuminated fish tank in Seven Dials.

Lumiere London runs Jan. 18-21.

An Adventure of Light In The City!

An Adventure of Light In The City!

Hey you lovely people!

I’ve lived in a big city all my life, which basically means i’ve never had an excuse to be bored. There is always something going on, regardless of how much money you have left in your pocket at the end of the month.

January is no exception – especially with all the winter light festivals in town.
