PERFORMING LANDSCAPES
A one-day journey through art and land
7 September 2024

While landscape has been a favorite subject of artistic creation for several centuries now, the Performing Landscapes program aims to offer participants the opportunity to experience it collectively through movement and the discovery of contemporary artistic practices.


On September 7, we invite you to embark with us on a cruise or a bike tour along the Meuse, a crucial axis of circulation and communication for the Liège basin since its origins. Following the flow of the river will lead us to revisit the not-so-distant past of the city of Liège. The cruise and the bike tour will take us out of the city center to explore the fringes of the city, transformed and exploited by industry, laden with a history that resonates intensely with our current challenges. What legacy do we retain from this period? How do we integrate these landscapes into our present? While these questions arise from the observation of a specific region, they extend far beyond any geographical anchoring. Starting from a city and its periphery, we open a reflection beyond borders.


Each artistic gesture positions itself as a first step in reflecting on the future. How do we move beyond a form of status quo, whether it concerns questions of heritage, memory, ecology, culture, socio-economic, or political developments?
Come share with us a convivial and unique moment to discover the landscape of a city in a new way!
