Archives in the city

From August 4th to 24th, the urban exhibition Archives in the City can be seen at Place De Brouckère as part of the Brussels Dance Festival. It will continue until September 15th at Rue de la Bourse. It features a selection of photos from the book Danser, une histoire, published by Contredanse Editions.

Over the past century, dance in Belgium has been transformed. Crossed by artistic currents, social movements and aesthetic revolutions, it has been taking shape in studios, theaters and public spaces. Through 24 photographs, Archives in the city highlights dance in all its forms.
