Brussels Underground
This week, we’ll set off to explore the mysterious and hidden places scattered throughout Brussels and its surroundings.
When walking through the city streets, it’s hard to imagine the worlds hiding behind building façades—what’s really going on behind those walls?
We’ll push open the doors of little-known and fascinating places that hold secrets from the past, some even buried beneath our feet. We'll dive into forgotten stories of the city we live in.
Like true explorers, we’ll go on an adventure and document our discoveries in photos and drawings, creating our very own atlas.
These investigations will also teach us to notice the small lives that unfold all around us—often invisible unless we truly look…

Mathilde is a young artist who is pretty much on her way to obtaining her diploma and aggregate at the ERG (école de recherche graphique). Her practice consists of making "sculptural paintings", using mainly chiselled elements. She is particularly interested in our relationship to life and landscape. In her works, through fragile assemblages, a layering of subtle signs appears, mixing the organic with the artificial and forming a gateway to imaginary worlds not necessarily at odds with the real.
Elias Sanhaji studied at the Ecole de Recherche Graphique in Brussels, where he is currently completing his Masters. Since childhood, he has been fascinated by huts and camps as well as large-scale urban construction projects. In recent years, through his artistic practice, he has been trying to draw attention to current ecological issues and to help us rebuild a sensitive relationship with what lives around us, with a world that sometimes seems far away from us when we live in the city.
