CurieuCity Festival
CurieuCity is a new arts and science festival coming to Brussels for the first time throughout 2024. It offers scientific, artistic and educational activities, partly in public spaces and in collaboration with local initiatives.
CurieuCity cultivates curiosity and wonder in everything that surrounds us individually and collectively. It’s a festival that aims to combine the scientific rigor of universities with the experiential impact of art, STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), and socio-cultural action. Each edition of the festival addresses a question inspired by the reality of the neighbourhood where it is located.
More than just a festival, CurieuCity animates four neighbourhoods throughout the year, aiming to develop sustainable and participatory interest in science by co-creating projects with residents and schools in the area.
Co-organised by two Brussels universities, the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, CurieuCity explores the intersection of creativity and curiosity.
As artistic co-programmer, Ohme presents the work of artists whose practices cross path with the themes of each edition of the festival.
29 Nov > 1 Dec 2024
@ Marolles
CurieuCity#3 returns for its final edition of the year in Les Marolles neighborhood!
On the agenda: exhibitions, workshops, discussions, and much more! Join us at Place du Jeu de Balle and the surrounding area for a journey into the ‘mysteries of science and engineering.’ Delve into fascinating topics like space, mathematics, mechanics, chemistry and physics, while uncovering how and why certain ideas are considered true or false in science.
