Join us for a reading by US based, Syrian-Peruvian writer Farid Matuk. He will read new poems from the forthcoming collection Moon Mirrored Indivisible. The poems explore the aesthetic perversions of syntax and rhyme to search for yet unrealized perversions and purities amidst national, sexual, and ancestral orthodoxies. After the reading he will be in joined in conversation by Brussels based writer Filip Jakab.

Join us for the launch of To Enter The Forest, a new artist edition by Lucia Palladino published by Nero Editions (2024). On the occasion of the launch Lucia will activate the publication with a performative reading. 

We are excited to invite you to ...have ...word, our second series of bimonthly reading groups. In this series we will look into the concrete and spectral forces attempting to govern our languages. Through poetry and essay we will dissect the frameworks that shape the way words act in the world and on our bodies. Questioning what it is to have, to hold, to let go, to be transformed by language.

Welcome to the rile* reading room hosted as part of Kunstenfestivaldesarts 2024. Come and visit us at the festival centre at KVS to browse through our collection of books weaving together themes of the festival. You can find artist books and theory on labor, memory, the kitchen table, performance and choreography.

Join us for a reading by writer and poet Mira Mattar. Mira is the author of Yes, I Am A Destroyer (2020), Affiliation (2021), The Bow (2021), and most recently And most of all I would miss the shadows of the tree’s own leaves cast upon its trunk by the orange streetlight in the sweet blue darks of spring (2024).

Welcome to the fourth iteration of “Living contents”, a set of readings, publications and performances by students and guests of the ReadingListeningSpeaking seminar at Erg Brussels.

Join us for Time had Girl’s back, a performance by Clara Amaral. Time had Girl’s back misdirects readership, just like the magician’s hand that draws the audience's attention to one thing in order to distract from another for which secrecy is required. Girl’s body, whilst seemingly disorganised, casts a spell of resistance, proposing another experience of time.
