Do you have a lot on your mind that you don’t know what to do with, worries you can’t make head or tail of? Instead of sending them out into the virtual world, you can get rid of them in front of the Beursschouwburg all afternoon. Free your mind from worries by putting them into the hands of slam poets Zadok Umoru, Esohe Weyden and Sefora Sam and illustrators David J. McMillan, Sarah Adriaenssens and Frederik Van den Stock.
Get real
Enough already with gratuitously using the virtual world as as dumping ground, illustrator Shamisa Debroey must have thought when she came up with the idea of the Black Box, her answer to the current trend of unloading our worries anonymously in the virtual world.
For a brief moment, the Box will literally and figuratively be the darkest corner of Brussels: you drop your boldest statement in a large box, in which three duos of illustrators and poets get to work on them and offer your worries an artistic release.
The end result will be shown that evening in the Beurscafé.
