What's it about & museum setting
Through body and voice, let’s explore themes of trust, connection, cooperation and how to shape a different future.
In Chinese, the word weiji, composed of 2 characters, means both 'crisis' and 'possibility'. In recent years, we have been confronted with a health crisis, terrorist attacks, war, the climate crisis and globally increasing sense of unease and anxiety.
This project aims to mark a turning point, to restore trust and work towards connection, to find pleasure and satisfaction in cocreation and expression in the both accessible and secure surroundings of museums.
In Brussels, at the heart of Europe, the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH) spark curiosity and wonder for the worlds that women and men have made. It’s mission? To connect people, art and history.
The exhibition JOSEF HOFFMANN: Beyond Beauty and Modernity and the museum's architectural space form the context as well as the starting point of the creation process.
