This book deals thematically and visually with the many interactions between architecture, visual art, residents and passers-by.
In the past decades, the University of Antwerp has brought together a unique collection of visual art of Belgian and international origin and style. With great care, these works of art are given a specific, selected and discussed place in and around the buildings on the various university campuses. Students, profes- sors, research and supporting staff are thus con- nected to fragments from the collection in their daily work environment.
High-performance sport is a key driver of technological evolutions in the textile industry. The sports sector is a true test lab for the development of new, innovative fibers and materials to improve athletes’ performance and comfort. Thanks to advances in textile technology, the fibers used are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Techniques such as coating, priming and microencapsulation also make textiles interactive and intelligent, allowing them to adapt to environmental factors and possess antibacterial, thermoregulatory, hydrophilic and even therapeutic properties.
Sportswear is also a fashion phenomenon and is increasingly part of our everyday wardrobe. The exhibition Textimoov! highlights the exciting world of high-tech textile fibers and their integration into sportswear and materials through many concrete examples and trends in the textile industry, and also focuses on important collaborations between major designers and sports brands that show the fusion and democratization of streetwear and sportswear

With TraumA, the Triennial of Bruges dives into the ‘uncanny’ history and reality of Bruges. Historical layers are exposed, forgotten or hidden storylines discussed. This edition explores the thin line between dream and trauma, between paradise and hell. It appeals to the imagination, to the pomp and circumstance, but also to the ‘uncanny’ that is present underground. For although Bruges seems to be a dream destination for many, poverty, loneliness, pollution or fear also lurk in this picture-perfect world.
Triennial Bruges 2021: TraumA uses artistic and architectural interventions to bring the less attractive aspects to the surface and make them part of the city’s image. It creates a polyphonic discourse, where there is room for imagination, beauty, darkness and complexity. A space where artists and architects can explore both the stage and the dusty wings. Triennial Bruges 2021: TraumA balances between the present and the hidden. With a course of sculptural, architectural and organic creations, it is a celebration of the versatility and mobility of this city.
Between private and public.
Between dream and nightmare.

Once upon a time… A castle. That’s about how the intriguing fairy tale created by British theatre company and artists’ collective WildWorks around Gaasbeek Castle and its most imaginative inhabitants begins. But is it really a fairy tale?
Bouquets is the new book in Laura Dowling’s inspiring ‘how-to’ series and builds on the premise of her successful first book Floral Diplomacy in the White House (2016), namely the idea that flowers have the power to change the way people think and feel and to create powerful emotional connections – with nature and with others, with our past and with our desires for the future.
Despite some field research, our knowledge of the sacred among the Mumuye is very limited. In all these non-hierarchical groups, which are dichotomous and antinomian in composition, the va-complex predominates, which has a rich semantic meaning, with certain emphases prevailing depending on the circumstances. Religious power resides in sacred objects watched over by the elders.
