CurieuCity, the new festival not to be missed, invites you to explore the fascinating world of art and science that will amaze Brussels throughout the year!
The first edition will take place from 3 to 5 May, with four unique events spread across four different districts of the city. And guess what? The very first stop is in Molenbeek, where we invite you to discover the city of the future all weekend long.
The programme includes a multitude of activities designed for an audience from 0 to 99 years old! Performances, walks, workshops, exhibitions, experiences and meetings with scientists and artists await you. You can explore the impact of cities on the climate through exciting workshops: build cities with Lego to digitise them, discover the anatomy of a plant thanks to a collective vegetable garden, or even attend concerts where plants sing.
What makes CurieuCity really special is the community-oriented engagement. Local associations such as Mill West, Fabwest, SamenvoorMorgen, Park Ouest, Espirito Mundo and many others offer activities tailored to the West Station neighbourhood. Together, we are building a dynamic space of reflection, discovery and co-creation.
The festival is completely free, so join us on Friday 3 May at 2pm at Park Ouest and Mill West venues.
About CurieuCity
CurieuCity is a new arts and science festival coming to Brussels this year. 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 neighborhood where it is located. In this way, at the urban site of Westpark, we will imagine the city of the future, delve into the world of water and microorganisms in the Wiels Marsh neighborhood, or emphasize the human aspect in the Marolles neighborhood by exploring the role of sports in social cohesion.
The world needs you
This initiative is part of the public programme of VUB: a programme for everyone who believes that scientific knowledge sharing, critical thinking and dialogue are an important first step to create impact in the world.
As an Urban Engaged University, VUB aims to be a driver of change in the world. With our academic edcuational programmes and innovative research, we contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and to making a difference locally and globally.
