Two striking exhibitions immerse you in diverse artistic worlds. When We See Us is a kaleidoscopic survey of a century of Pan-African figurative painting. Themes such as joy, exuberance, everyday life, sensuality and spirituality are explored across more than 140 paintings by one hundred artists. Berlinde De Bruyckere’s first solo exhibition at Bozar offers a compelling overview of her practice in sculptures, drawings and installations. New artistic dialogues with both historical and contemporary makers are woven throughout the display.
Two intimate exhibitions complete the programme. Familiar Strangers reflects on recent geopolitical and social shifts in Eastern Europe, using multiple identities to illuminate the complex interplay between the local and the transcultural in Poland. In Renovation, Suchan Kinoshita—winner of the 2025 Belgian Art Prize—presents a new installation at Bozar, in which her background in theatre and experimental music converges and invites you, the viewer, to participate actively.
This summer marks the debut of Bozar Monumental in the Horta Hall, where a striking installation by Michael Beutler takes over the space. From autumn 2025, EUROPALIA ESPAÑA steps in with an exhibition centred on Francisco de Goya, as well as a large-scale show dedicated to the work of American artist John Baldessari.
