Together, our exhibitors bring different stories, perspectives and forms of loss to life.
Annemie Lathouwers explores the relationship between objects, space and people as an architect and ceramic artist.
Through her own experiences, she developed an intuitive connection with grief and farewell. Through her work, she seeks to evoke a sensory interaction that offers a sense of closeness and connection.
Kinga Jaczewska is a choreographer, dancer, and visual artist. Her work explores the politics of visibility: what is seen, what remains unnoticed, and which voices or presences are pushed to the margins.
Her practice is rooted in dance and choreography, through which she develops long-term artistic research. Alongside her choreographic work, she explores related questions through video, photography, collage, and text. The body is a central point of departure: a site of inquiry, encounter, and reflection, as well as a vessel for emotions and lived experiences.

Milla Slangen is graduating with a Master's degree in Graphic and Drawing Arts from LUCA School of Arts in Ghent. In her work, she explores the relationship between image, memory and loss.In recent years, the loss of her grandparents has been an important starting point for her work. Through charcoal drawings, she brings together images from films, childhood memories and her own archive to create new visual narratives.Drawing has thus become part of her grieving process and an attempt to preserve memories over time.
Ietje Visser is a school principal and, driven by a personal passion, is studying photography at the part-time art education programme (DKO). Since the death of her husband, she has been exploring through photography how grief, loss, and pain can be captured in images.
She wrote her family story and has since translated it into a series of personal photographs, which she hopes to bring together in a book. The process of her father growing older and gradually disappearing also forms an important part of her work.
Drawing on her experience as a close witness to loss, she searches for a visual language for what she describes as 'living grief'.
As an architect, Lidewij Deroo explores the place that grief can have within architecture, using photography and film as her methods. By framing and slowing down, she approaches architecture as a form of care: she spends time in a place and captures the gentle, vulnerable side of dwelling. In this way, a portrait emerges—a record of a fading collective memory, creating space to let go and look ahead.
William Finken is a photographer, born in Congo and currently based in Brussels. His work explores loss, memory, and the stories we carry with us. In Sweet Revenge, he examines the loss of a brother who never had the chance to exist: the sense of absence, as well as the guilt and shame associated with it. Through portraits, still lifes, and observations, he seeks a way to process these emotions while also giving form to what might have been.
Fiona Oikonomidou is a graphic artist and pattern designer based in Antwerp.
Bringing a background in interior styling and product design, her practice today is anchored in a deep passion for patterns and how they live on surfaces and within broader visual communication. Her expertise lies in building conceptual, layered visual worlds from scratch, applying this unique lens to visual identities, editorial design and surface pattern design, as well as to her autonomous artistic work.
Driven by typographic clarity and playful experimentation with form and rhythm, her goal is always to create imagery that feels genuinely authentic and visually intriguing.
Lou De Ruyck is a performance and visual artist whose work explores themes such as loss, identity and human relationships. Her project stems from a sense of absence and the need to communicate with what is no longer there. What began with writing letters as an attempt to let go evolved into a search for other ways to remain connected with what or who has disappeared. Drawing on memories, she seeks out physical places and translates them into drawings.
Liesbeth Van Ginderdeuren is an Antwerp-based architect, visual artist, and curator of the experimental art gallery Tussenruimte Berchem.
In her paintings, she exchanges architectural precision for the freedom of imperfection, drawing strong inspiration from meditation and walks in nature. Her work reflects on our current "liminal phase" — the threshold of an increasingly digital future — questioning the duality between humans and nature, and between fiction and reality.She translates daily observations through quick sketches into layered oil paintings on unprimed canvas, with light, emptiness, and in-between spaces at the centre. In her most recent site-specific work, she moves beyond the canvas, allowing her abstract compositions to interact directly with physical public space.Through her installations, she invites visitors to experience reality through her eyes, in an encounter with their own shadow.
