From 17 to 20 September, we will be exploring the emancipatory power of the Middle Ages in contemporary artistic practice, and looking at the ways in which this period serves as a vehicle for collective imagination, struggle and counter-narratives.

Feral, a festival re-inventing our relationship with the city

Artistic encounters, knowledge and tactics

Feral is a festival that reflects on today’s urgent political and social issues, and how artists take them into their hands. It is a programme of artistic interventions and encounters that uses art to influence everyday life in Brussels. Feral can take place on a boat, at the abattoirs, in a shop or at a carnival. Feral is urban, interstitial, peripheral and feral.

The programme for 2025 will be announced in a couple of weeks.

Feral is free, on registration.

Registrations will open around 25 August.
