Underneath Which Rivers Flow by Globe Aroma et Decoratelier Jozef Wouters

“One day, a large banner suddenly appeared on the facade of Decoratelier, showing a virtual vision of what the neighbourhood might look like in the future. The atelier and its surroundings had been replaced by a large park. That same day, I met a group of people from Globe Aroma and we decided to dig a hole towards this future park that, right now, is still an old factory.” Jozef Wouters
[FR] Depuis mars 2018, Decoratelier Jozef Wouters collabore avec la Maison des Arts ouverte Globe Aroma pour Underneath Which Rivers Flow. Un groupe de femmes et d’hommes – bâtisseurs, poètes et rêveurs – se réunit toutes les semaines à Decoratelier à Molenbeek. Ensemble, ils y bâtissent des récits, un jardin secret truffé de trous de vers menant à des univers insoupçonnés.
