Photo Exhibition Martial Arts

Along the escalators in the MAS Boulevard, the photo exhibition by Adel Setta Mellunman showcases the diverse character of the contemporary Antwerp martial arts scene, offering a glimpse into the daily ins and outs of the fighting clubs.

Photos from past and present

The photographs also turn their focus to the past. Martial arts have a very long history, but archives are often missing and memories are fragmented. The MAS brings part of these stories back to life, both through images and a podcast series.
