The market is so close we can almost taste it ! And we’re happy to announce will be with us ✨

Duha is a Brussels based researcher, scuba diver, mermaid, a community space holder and an artist whose life moves across many practices. She is finishing a PhD on migration, care, and childhood, and she also writes, dances, dives and creates Ebru art which she has practiced for years. Working on and with water lets her think, slow down, and connect to the stories she carries. Her academic and artistic work often speak to each other, making room for complexity, emotion, and imagination. She shares her Ebru pieces here as part of the many worlds she belongs to.

Plus que 4 dodos avant le marché ! Retrouvez-nous samedi avec les merveilles de .dure

Une maison d’édition qui vous met en branle. Insolente, déclenchante, elle cherche à provoquer un phénomène, une réaction ou un mouvement chez le spectateur par l’intermédiaire d’un mécanisme simple et ludique. Voir le monde autrement, redécouvrir les petites choses, apprécier ce qui nous entoure et penser différemment pendant un instant. Retrouvez-moi au Winter Market du Kaaistudio en soutien à une Palestine libre !
