Activities

Guy Woueté is a multidisciplinary artist whose work critiques Western influence on Africa. In his talk, he explores how the Western worldview continues to shape artistic identity and practice.

Meet Bruno Zhu. Bruno Zhu lives and works between Portugal and the Netherlands. Through an artistic practice that combines fashion design, writing and publishing, and scenography, Zhu challenges the normative constraints that narrow our thinking and reinforce the dynamics of social reproduction.

Meet Cécile B. Evans. She is an American-Belgian artist living and working in Saint-Denis. Evans’ work examines the value of emotion and its rebellion as it comes into contact with ideological, physical, and technological structures. 

On Saturday, April 26, we invite you behind the scenes of our archive depot. As part of the exhibition “Hugo Roelandt – The End is a New Beginning”, you will have a unique opportunity to closely examine the archives of several artists.

In the 1970s and 80s, Hugo Roelandt created iconic performances such as the occupation of Groendalstraat (1981) in Antwerp and the Aeromatic Art Project (1983) with hovering model helicopters. Along with experts and students, we will investigate how we can reinterpret these performances.

Do you want to find out more about the archives that M HKA manages? Or are you an artist with questions about compiling your own archive? At the end of April, we will be opening our doors for a few days to dive into the archives with our in-house expert(s).

Action in Antwerp! The passionate M HKA art historian and Academy lecturer Piet Van Hecke invites you for a free crash course in the history of happenings and performances in Antwerp.

Marc Holthof, formerly Hugo Roelandt’s assistant, and Joanna Zielińska, curator and performance expert at M HKA, discuss the challenges of archiving ephemeral art.

In the Salon on the first floor, there’s room for a young audience. M HKA’s most beautiful room is accessible to big and small, young and old, friends and family.

Discover the magical universe of Panamarenko. The Panamarenko House offers an unmissable journey featuring flying backpacks, walking chickens, and a real helicopter platform on the roof.

On the last Thursday of every month, M HKA is open until 9 p.m. During these evenings, you’re welcome to explore the current exhibitions, along with a special programme of activities.

Family Tour of the Panamarenko House. Join a guided tour and explore the magical place where Panamarenko created floating cars, flying backpacks, pedal-powered helicopters, airships you could live in, submarines, and flying saucers.

With their grabby fingers and curious mouths, toddlers often find it challenging in a museum. That’s why we’ve created a tour tailored just for them.
