Today: Brotherly Disputes, Afrofuturism & Starwatching

22:00 | Belluard | Performance
JAKE & PETE'S BIG RECONCILIATION ATTEMPT FOR THE DISPUTES FROM THE PAST
Jakob Ampe & Pieter Ampe

Jakob and Pieter are brothers. Their poetic performance plays with the expectations of the spectator, threatening to tip into catastrophe. But there is something innate that always unifies them: their eccentric humour.

| Extra Muros - Meeting at Ancienne Gare | Lecture
AFROGALACTICA - A Brief History of the Future 1
Kapwani Kiwanga

Kiwanga reflects on some major themes in afrofuturism and their role in the development of the United States of Africa Space Agency. Plunging into the past to retrieve the archives of popular culture, she uses science fiction to make projections about what lies ahead.
