Environments & Experiences designed for BOZAR, Brussels.

Over eight years, I collaborated with BOZAR, The Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, on a series of events to engage families in art exhibitions. The project involved designing a one-day event around BOZAR’s current exhibition, targeted to families. However, my goal was to create an engaging space and experience for everyone, regardless of age or ability.

The BOZAR family days were very hands-on, allowing visitors to experience the artist’s work differently. My first family day was during the Wim Delvoy retrospective, and I designed an immersive space of light shadow and building of gothic structures. Visitors to the Picasso exhibit created mini sculptures from wood, paper, clay, and wire. During the Wattoe exhibit, visitors co-created a large dress tent of reused textiles and made musical instruments from found objects. 

The goal of each of the eight family days was to engage every person and all of their senses, making the experience interactive and memorable. Through collaboration with BOZAR, we were able to create a series of events that were innovative, interactive, and engaging. By providing hands-on activities, we brought the artworks to life and made them accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.

Overall, the collaboration with BOZAR was a huge success. Over the eight years, we created around 12+ family days that brought people together to engage in art in a way that was accessible, engaging, and fun.
