During the quarantine, we had to be away from each other for months. Screens narrowed our conversations and we temporarily left behind an approachable/accessible place, our open art house, where artists and creatives could freely gather and create.

To celebrate being together again anyway, Globe Aroma is throwing open all the windows and doors this summer and heading into town. In three locations, our artists can regain solid ground to spur their creativity and artistic process in a measured way.

From July 20 to 31 and from Aug. 24 to 28, we will be settling down at the Park Pavilion (formerly Bar Eliza) in Elisabeth Park. In this urban green, we will set up an open studio where everyone will have a place and the materials to write, paint or bricolage. At the same time, from 10 a.m. to 6 – 8 p.m., the pavilion nurtures the familiar Globe Aroma atmosphere where our staff, well-known artists/creatives/culture lovers and new people can meet, picnic and chat.

In parallel, Globe Aroma is taking up residence at community center Hageltoren – Tour à Plomb for the summer. Musician Gueladio Ba welcomes about a dozen bands each week who rehearse there in a well-equipped and comfortable space. In contrast, artist Ahilan Bhuvanendra Ratnamohan will work there in the dance and sports hall with performers who want to develop a dance training practice.

Finally, we are establishing a residency operation in GC De Platoo. For four months, fashion designers Octavio Amos, Salimata Conde and Toni Bland will develop there. In turn, Globe Aroma will bring these three designers into contact with the most diverse players from the textile and fashion world. Within this residency, the artists can exchange knowledge and gain access to various networks. The goal of this residency is clearly not to produce a finished product, but to let these makers develop, document and archive their own working process.
