Marcel Broodthaers (1924-76) is widely recognized as one of the icons of postwar art history. Yet his unique cinematic legacy remains one of the most overlooked aspects of his oeuvre. Following the publication of 'Marcel Broodthaers and Film: A Second of Eternity' (2024), this screening offers a rare opportunity to (re)discover Broodthaers’s filmic legacy.

🎤 Presented by Steven Jacobs & Raf Wollaert (editors of the book) and Bruce Jenkins, a longtime expert on the artist’s films.

Co-authors Luce Beeckmans and Mary Elizabeth Hogan present the 📕 'Integration Otherwise Inspiration Kit' at the Imiscoe Civil Society Forum in Paris!

The toolkit invites us to move beyond the polarised debate on integration – one that either portrays newcomers as failing to integrate or blames society as insufficiently welcoming. Using a bottom-up approach, it offers a new perspective that highlights how integration is already taking place in everyday life.
