iMAL at work
Discover the new home we’re building for our digital future
Over the past two years all of us at iMAL have been working hard to give our activities an updated and visible face along the canal in Molenbeek. Our newly updated home at Quai des Charbonnages 30 in Molenbeek will be ready in February 2020. Because we just can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on we are inviting everyone to join us for an extended preview of what’s to come at iMAL.
From the 21st till the 24th of November we welcome you to discover our multidisciplinary approach to digital arts and cultures with a programme curated by Ana Ascencio (former artistic director of Mapping Festival) in collaboration with Yves Bernard.
iMAL has worked with various partner associations and institutions to create a broad and engaging programme. A diverse ensemble of local and international artists will propose performances, a nighttime programme with audiovisual shows and DJs as well as a showcase of works-in-progress exploring artificial intelligence, augmented reality and digital fabrication
Furthermore we will host a series of workshops for the curious and creative minds. The Fablab will also be open during the weekend to show how it operates on a day-to-day basis. On Sunday all kids, youngsters and families are invited for activities produced in collaboration with our long-time partners MOVE and Fablab'ke (CASTII project) and an introduction into the world of iMAL.
