OUR HOUSE, IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR STREET
a focus on our city, streets without borders & breaking up with a building
We’ll be here a little while longer, but with renovations planned for 2027, we’ll be moving out for a time. While searching for a temporary home, we found ourselves — once again — in a city full of empty spaces. Beer museums and community centres, open-air pools and pop-up studios: audiences and places keep missing each other.
That’s why, in 2026, we turn outward. Toward a pedestrian zone that began as a picnic. Toward les cinq blocs and their slow decay. Toward Sint-Katelijneplein, crowded with terraces and stripped of benches. Toward the steps of the Beurs, a site of resistance and connection.
Who gets to imagine the future of our city? Who are the (project) developers shaping our neighbourhoods? And which centre will we return to once the renovations are done?
For one year, we rehearse saying goodbye to a building by letting the city move in. We look in on our neighbours — long-time and newly arrived Brussels residents, squatters and artists, undocumented migrants and the punks who look out for them. We hold big conversations and sing little sidewalk songs. We celebrate sound systems and trap roulettes. We study police violence and public pleasure. We watch children play outside and bodies dance in silence. We cherish territorial cinema and a people’s parade.
So welcome to our home. Step into our street.
It’s here for you too.
