an afternoon filled with sharing, quilting and storytelling 💜

We cut, assembled and sewed printed textiles into a collective quilt. The workshop acting as a public circle, offering a shared space for reflection. Participants stitched individual fabric pieces into a collaborative patchwork, creating a material expression of the diverse stories and archives brought together throughout the project.

The honor of your presence is requested at the union of sound and ceremony. C**T RITES is back on the airwaves of to officiate ‘WEDDING’ on Thursday (30/04) from 15—16h CET 💍

For this occasion, our very own George Chinnery () breaks his usual rule of experimental textures to make his one and only exception: a high-octane set of classic UK Garage bangers. It’s a ritual he reserves strictly for the post-ceremony dance floor, trading sub-bass pressure for UKG heat.

Huge thanks to for the opportunity to design last weekend’s Art & Labor Book Fair 🖇️

DRUKDRUKDRUK brought together practices that insist on plurality: different perspectives, different urgencies, different ways of organising. What connects them is the refusal of the idea that artistic production exists outside of labour, and a commitment to making the conditions of that labour legible.

Join us coming Thursday (30/04) for 🅗🅔🅚🅢🅔🅝🅢🅐🅑🅑🅐🅣 at from 14—17h for an afternoon of quilting and storytelling 🪡

This closing activity combines the collective sewing and assembling of the printed textiles with a public sharing circle. Participants help stitch the individual pieces of fabric together into a collaborative patchwork artwork—a material expression of the diverse voices, stories, and archives that were brought together during the project.

The session ends with a reflective and celebratory moment that follows Walpurgis Night, transforming a historically charged night into a moment of collective gathering and renewal.

The project “Liever Heks?!” at S.M.A.K. centres on the figure of the witch as a powerful and ambiguous symbol, historically linked to resistance and nonconformity, and reinterprets it through contemporary perspectives. Using materials from Suzan Daniel Fund and Amsab-ISG, which preserves LGBTQ+ histories in Belgium, the project creates connections between past struggles and present identities.

The archive is not presented as something fixed, but is turned into an active, public process in which visitors are invited to participate. Participants are invited to bring their own documentation, placing them in dialogue with existing archival materials. Through collective practices such as collage, screen printing, and quilting, these contributions grow into a layered and “polyphonic” whole that reflects multiple voices and perspectives.

Bring your sewing gear and join us next Thursday (30/04) from 14—17h for our third and final session ‘Heksensabbat’—where together we will quilt the outcome of the second activation ‘Heksenwerk’ 🪡

Tune in this Thursday (05/03) on from 15—16h CET for the second episode of C**T RITES ⤷ ゛MENSTRUATION ˎˊ˗ 🩸

Featuring a visceral guest mixtape and conversation on heavy music and bodily autonomy with Kimothy Hoorweg (.drinker), plus a deep dive into the “On Periodt.” archive project with Marthe Huyse () and Laura Smekens ().

From Dolly Parton’s “emancipated” blues to the industrial hauntings of Backxwash, we are exploring body sovereignty beyond the binary. Because the blood does not define the being; we define the blood.
