Living Collection, Living Traditions

FREE ENTRANCE | In a diverse city like Antwerp, you can find all kinds of traditions that people still actively practice today.

Each of them selected an object that is indispensable to their tradition and shares what that tradition means to them.

Queer stories about claiming space and coming home

26.02 to 30.08.2027
The exhibition explores what it means to live together and meet one another. What it means to be allowed to truly be yourself, in your own body, in your relationships with others, in public, and behind closed doors. An exhibition that shows how these themes, even today, are not publicly accepted or accessible for everyone.
