For the 20th anniversary of Design September, and following the success of Shifting Ground last year, we are launching this year A Garden Party: an immersive exhibition built around the idea of the Party as a space for encounter, creation, and collective reflection. The exhibition will bring together the works of Belgian and European designers. Beyond its festive dimension, the exhibition is rooted in a paradox: organizing a celebration at a time when social, economic, and creative expression are increasingly fragile. The garden party, historically associated with certain forms of privilege, is here reinterpreted as both a critical and poetic device — a way to question how we come together, and how we choose to celebrate.

Vernissage: 18 September, 18-22h
Finissage: 26 September, 16-20h (I’ll be there at 18h30)
Exhibition dates: 17 - 27 September (closed on Monday 21)
Nocturnes: 24 & 25 september until 20h
