    About the KULT XL Ateliers showroom

    Located in the Léopold district of Ixelles, rue Wiertz leads directly to the European Parliament. Created in 1937 to accommodate the wealthy social classes, the district was however quickly taken over by artists such as Jane Graverol and Antoine Wiertz. His house-workshop (the current Wiertz Museum) as well as the adjoining garden (the current Citizens’ Garden) are major witnesses to the rich artistic life of the time. The district was then transformed to accommodate the European institutions. Often described as a purely institutional zone, it also welcomes many residents. The reinstatement in 2021 of artists’ studios and an exhibition hall in the neighborhood allows us to reconnect with its history and build a bridge to current residents and users, therefore looking towards the future. .

    With a total area of ​​150 m2, the exhibition space is spread over two levels. On the ground floor, the main space of 100 m2 is lined with large windows on both sides, letting in daylight. Via a staircase, you access a smaller basement space, ideal for showcasing video installations or more intimate scenes.

    The From Us To Us Europe Forum Brussels is an event organized by Empowering Women International, an association recognized as being of public utility chaired by Mrs. Amina Lutumba Ndoy and supported by HE Mohamed Ameur, Ambassador of Morocco to Belgium and Luxembourg, Mr. Ken Ndiaye, Alderman of Culture, his partners. Its objective is to promote African female talents little known to the general public.
