Grand Opening Weekend

Although not fully refurbished, Wiels wants to involve the public with its development. During three days, the brew hall, an inaugural exhibition, three film premiers, guided tours concerts and performances will be freely accessible to everyone who’s eager to discover this new and major cultural institution. After the opening weekend, Wiels will remain open and will progressively expand the occupation of its building and develop its range of activities and services.

This exhibition explores the question of plural identities, which are formed beyond national borders and lines of demarcation, wether they are real or imaginary

On the second floor of the still unfinished Wiels Marcel Berlanger presents a "theatrical" experience of painting.
