Group exhibition
23.04–31.05.2026: PILAR, VUB, Brussels, BE
How can we rethink our connection to the living world in times of ecological urgency and societal uncertainty? As cities grow denser and digital life accelerates, The Foragers: Engagements Beyond the Human invites you to rediscover your relationship with our environment — not just in remote wilderness, but in the overlooked spaces of everyday urban life. This interdisciplinary art-science project brings together artists, researchers, and enthusiasts who reclaim the ancient practice of foraging as a bold, imaginative, and future-facing method.
The exhibition explores foraging through installations, artworks, and site-specific interventions, both within the gallery walls and beyond.
Participating artists: Ánima O. Cassamajor, Annelotte Lammertse, Aïcha Ouattara, Amber Vanluffelen, Camille Dufour, Chloé Clément, Delphine Somers, Elli Vassalou, Ernst Maréchal, Federico Protto, Jori(k) A. Galama, Maliza Kiasuwa, Marjolijn Dijkman, Mathias Mu, Nele Möller, Pedro Riofrio, Samah Hijawi, Soukaïna Aziz El Idrissi, and Tim Theo Deceuninck.
“The Foragers” is co-curated by artist Gosie Vervloessem, Benoît Henriet – PI of FORAGENCY and holder of the Casterman-Hamers Chair – and the team of CROSSTALKS (Goedele Nuyttens and Ine De Bock).
