Birthday bash: L’Enfant Sauvage turns 5
Saturday, 21 June, 18h00 Brussels
Photography gallery, bookshop, and workshop space L’Enfant Sauvage is celebrating five years of shaping Brussels’ photography scene – and you’re invited. On the programme: the launch of a new map highlighting the city’s photography hotspots, a playlist by Tropicall Record to set the tone, local brews on tap from Brasserie de la Senne, and a carbonara party by La Tana. Plus: live screen printing by Noëmie Béchu (bring your own tee or tote), portrait sessions by Toinette Chaudron, and a tombola with great prizes. Dress up in your best 1930s outfit: there’s a reward for the most dazzling look. While you’re there, don’t miss the current show Paul & Sylvie – A Belgian Love Story, a poetic exhibition built around seven photo albums from the 1930s to 1960s, capturing a quiet, tender love story through decades of intimate snapshots.
Exhibition: Vera Klimentyeva and Perrine Boudy at Sorry We’re Closed
Until 5 July Brussels
Two must-see solo shows are currently on view at Brussels’ Sorry We’re Closed. French artist Perrine Boudy draws inspiration from the Greco-Roman era, blending ceramics and drawings that flow seamlessly together. Meanwhile, Russian artist Vera Klimentyeva presents “Liminal Horizons”, a series that is simultaneously geometric and magical.
Festival: Transit at Vogelzang
Saturday, 21 June, 12h00 – 00h00 Antwerp
Launched in 2017 as a club night, Transit has since transformed into a full-fledged outdoor festival – now set in a park on the edge of the city. Tucked between overgrown greenery and disused structures, it offers a bold blend of raw atmosphere, creative scenography, and deep electronic sounds. This year, there’s just one massive stage sculpture – an “architectural experiment”, as the organisers call it. Expect an outdoor day of modern club culture blended with visual arts.
