There Is Nothing Solid About Solidarity

M HKA presents a new site-specific installation and performance by Belgian multidisciplinary artist Stef Van Looveren as part of the IN SITU programme.

Designer Jelle Jespers examines graphic design and print as artistic practices in Argentina between 1940 and 1976. In this period, print culture became a vital space for ideas. Designers, artists and thinkers used printed matter to experiment with form, language, politics and society.

Carla Arocha and Stéphane Schraenen have worked together as an artist duo for over twenty years. Across sculpture, painting, photography and installation, they investigate how space, reflection and perception shape the act of looking. Their work calls for a critical way of looking.

This INBOX presentation brings together video works and a publication centred on birth, care and community. Three Spain-born artists based in Belgium enter into dialogue with a work from the M HKA collection.

The M HKA collection is always evolving, and we live in times of change. In 2025, M HKA will present a renewed and concise collection display featuring around thirty outstanding works by Flemish artists, including those who live and work (or have lived and worked) here.

For the eleventh year in a row, Antwerp Hospital School and M HKA are joining forces. Showing Off 11 is a story about the wonder, experimentation, action and creativity that arise when children and young people are exposed to contemporary art.

In the summer of 2026, Muhka will present the first major retrospective in Belgium fully dedicated to Nicola L., an artist renowned for her groundbreaking, multidisciplinary work. Visitors will discover five decades of creativity in which sculpture, performance, painting, film, and design converge, and gain insight into her innovative approaches to gender, the body, and space.

we refuse_d brings together fifteen artists whose practices explore refusal, endurance, and action—asking what it means to persist, resist, and create under conditions of silencing, censorship, and displacement. Developed through ongoing dialogue between artists and curators, we refuse_d is both a collective statement and a space for solidarity. It resonates with the spirit of the nineteenth-century Parisian Salon des Refusés, drawing attention to the fragile optimism and resilience that emerge in times of crisis.
