Hugo, engaged in feminism and dedicated to personal deconstruction, actively invests in questioning masculinity and patriarchy. A master-level transformational coach certified by the International Coaching Federation, he has been leading non-mixed discussion circles for men* since 2019. In 2021, he co-founded Liminal, an organization dedicated to reflection on masculinities and the transformation of patriarchal conditioning. Since immersing himself in a master’s program in gender studies, he has developed a passion for this intersection and now explores personal development through the lens of gender.
Andrée Chapatte is a multidisciplinary artist working in music, dance, and fascia therapy. His more recent work focuses on our relationship with contemporary camera technologies, collaborative meaning-making, and exploring speculative masculinities. At Liminal, Andrée has been facilitating connections among diverse initiatives related to masculinities in Brussels and beyond. andreechapatte.com https://www.instagram.com/andree_chapatte.mov/ Liminal Liminal deconstructs patriarchal norms and gendered expectations in community by holding each other accountable. We believe that everyone can—and men in particular must—contribute to gender justice by reflecting on how patriarchy influences their identity, behavior, and relationships. Liminal provides spaces for exchange, (un)learning, healing, and growth, facilitating transformation through personal development supported by feminist theory.
