Activities

Children up to 12 years old can enjoy a day of fun at the museum, as this year we are completely Crazy for Art! We’ll be exploring the art of clowning: we’ll play tricks on people while also holding up a mirror to them. On this day, M HKA will also launch its brand new philosophical card game, FiloSpook.

This special evening event combines the Belgian premiere of Nástio Mosquito’s film 'When Changing You Mind Gets You Killed' at De Cinema, with a talk by curator Gabi Ngcobo.

Artist Antje Majewski invites you to celebrate the season of harvest! Together with her, we will collectively create a grand apple ornament. The merriment will be supported by musical accompaniment. All the while you can enjoy eating an apple pancake - free while stocks last.

Bring you dog friend to our rooftop terrace to enjoy a special dog friendly concert together. The concert organised at M HKA by the occasion of the exhibition The Lives of Animals is performed for, and with dogs and their human partners.

We are pleased to invite you to an expert tour at the exhibition The Lives of Animals, led by curator Katerina Gregos. The tour will begin with the video work Waiting for the Time to Pass (2021) by Greek filmmaker Janis Rafa, featuring a dog as its protagonist.

During the DAKkan.festival on Sunday 22 September, the M HKA rooftop is the place to be! With a makers’ market, apple harvest, and a literature festival.

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.

Join us to celebrate the 1,000,062nd birthday of art! You’re invited to ART'S BIRTHDAY at M HKA on 17 January. Free entry, great company, and an abundance of art!

On Saturday 8 June, M HKA kicks off its summer programme with 'The Lives of Animals', a group exhibition that challenges you to look at your relationship with animals in a different way.

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.

For four days, The Constant Now will showcase four engaging artists at M HKA as part of Antwerp Art Weekend. A new film will screen continuously each day, accompanied by a talk with the filmmakers to gain insights into their practice.

FRONT ROW provides some of today’s most thought-provoking artists with the opportunity to reflect on art, culture, and society together with the audience.
