Residencie Raafat Majzoub
Moussem welcomes architect, author and visual artist Raafat Majzoub (Beirut). Through literary works, visual arts and public interventions, he negotiates the limits of reality and defends accessible alternatives and new scenarios.
During his residency at Moussem, Majzoub reflects on the Heyvaert neighbourhood in Anderlecht from the perspective of his specific artistic practice; he will look at the local economy, the car trade, public space and gentrification.
In his lecture for the Brussels Summer Assembly on July 6th, he shares his experiences and explains his Streetschool project, a performance that explores the possibilities of knowledge exchange in public space.
