Our Exquisite Corpse

Waiting for transgender care sometimes takes years in the Netherlands and Belgium. OUR EXQUISITE CORPSE translates this endless wait into a participatory art project: a metre-long quilt in which everyone contributes minutes, together accounting for 1,314,900 minutes of waiting. Join the wait, give your time.

queerPassion

At the end of August, the Antwerp Queer Choir will perform queerPassion at the Antwerp opera house. Curious for a preview? Come and listen to their open rehearsal at the MAS.

Interview with a Notorious Wild Cat (2021) is a video installation about a hybrid being — part human, part lynx. It explores the experience of living in a changing body: feminine, seductive, strange. A source of both pride and shame — something that cannot be fully understood or defined.
