Activities

Do you want to find out more about the archives that M HKA manages? Or are you an artist with questions about compiling your own archive? At the end of April, we will be opening our doors for a few days to dive into the archives with our in-house expert(s).

Panel discussion and book launch with Bambi Ceuppens, Liesbeth Minnaard, Irit Rogoff and Bruno Zhu

In 2025, we celebrate the Belgian visionary artist and dream engineer Panamarenko (1940–2019), who uniquely merged art and science. Panamarenko85, an initiative of the Panamarenko Foundation, honors this pioneer, innovator, and inspirer with a series of exhibitions, activities, and a new publication.

Action in Antwerp! The passionate M HKA art historian and Academy lecturer Piet Van Hecke invites you for a free crash course in the history of happenings and performances in Antwerp.

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.

Join us on Saturday 15 March for the public launch of the first comprehensive monograph, Elen Braga, published by MER. Books, celebrating 15 years of work by Belgian-Brazilian artist Elen Braga.

Join us in celebrating the opening of a new exhibition season. Free entry and a drink, with a DJ at M HKAFE.

What does it mean to be on the ‘right’ side of history? Nástio Mosquito inspires us to reflect on the difference between truth and lies, between certainty and clarity. In this context, we invite you to join our Philosophical Café, in the presence of the artist, moderated by philosopher Gideon Hakker. 

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.
