Activities

Iman Issa explores how exhibitions convey meaning and how form and context shape our interpretation of history and identity. Her work invites critical reflection on established narratives.

Meet Cécile B. Evans. She is an American-Belgian artist living and working in Saint-Denis. Evans’ work examines the value of emotion and its rebellion as it comes into contact with ideological, physical, and technological structures. 

Guy Woueté is a multidisciplinary artist whose work critiques Western influence on Africa. In his talk, he explores how the Western worldview continues to shape artistic identity and practice.

Meet Bruno Zhu. Bruno Zhu lives and works between Portugal and the Netherlands. Through an artistic practice that combines fashion design, writing and publishing, and scenography, Zhu challenges the normative constraints that narrow our thinking and reinforce the dynamics of social reproduction.

Before the summer break, Vedran Kopljar will close the first serie of FRONT ROW with an artist talk sharing a deep dive into his practice and MEAN, his first institutional solo exhibition, currently on view at M HKA.

For his participation in the FRONT ROW artist talks programme at M HKA, Halloubi will screen his film work Un après-midi à Larache (2015-2016) about writer and activist Jean Genet, before a conversation on his filmic practice.

Claudia Radulescu presents the latest mission of Hypergargalesthesia, a performance and film made in Mexico, March 2024.

This event is organised within the framework of FRONT ROW, a new monthly series of artist's talks jointly organised by M HKA and NICC. Serving as an open format to artists – whether a talk, a presentation of an idea, a lecture performance – the programme offers the opportunity to reflect on art, culture and society by some of the most thought-provoking artists practising today.
