IMMILAB Conférence finale
L’intégration des immigrés, anciens et nouveaux, dans notre économie et notre société reste un défi majeur. Le projet IMMILAB, en cours depuis 2017, s’est penché sur les obstacles et les solutions à apporter. Le projet, financé par BELSPO dans le cadre du programme BRAIN-be, a réuni trois équipes de recherche expérimentées qui ont accumulé une multitude de nouvelles connaissances au cours des 5 dernières années. Le groupe de recherche IMMILAB souhaite vous inviter à la conférence finale du projet où nous présenterons nos résultats de recherche. Nous poserons également la question suivante: quelles sont les implications politiques? C’est la raison pour laquelle nous interagirons avec des experts et des décideurs politiques.

IMMILAB slotconferentie
De integratie van migranten, oude en nieuwe, in onze economie en maatschappij blijft een heel belangrijke uitdaging. Het IMMILAB-project, dat loopt sinds 2017, heeft gekeken waar de barrières liggen en wat er kan gedaan worden. Het project, gefinancierd door BELSPO onder het BRAIN-be programma, bracht drie ervaren onderzoeksteams samen die over de voorbije 5 jaar een rijkdom aan nieuwe inzichten hebben verzameld. De onderzoeksgroep IMMILAB nodigt u graag uit voor de slotconferentie van het project waar we onze onderzoeksresultaten zullen delen. We zullen daar ook de vraag stellen: wat betekent dit voor beleid? We gaan daarom in gesprek met experten en beleidsmensen. De slotconferentie wordt georganiseerd ism met BELSPO, ULB, UMONS

The Museum of Art & History joins the Picture Festival! in order to discover an art form that is still largely unknown: Inuit printmaking. The exhibition presents about twenty prints and some sculptures from the collection of the Belgian poet Carl Norac.

The Aboriginal world is wondrous and fascinating, full of secrets for the uninitiated. Australia's first inhabitants are the inheritors of the world's oldest continuous culture, dating back 65,000 years. However rich, this culture did not find expression in buildings, written texts or movable works of art. Ancient knowledge of the land was and is passed on from generation to generation, exclusively through oral tradition, during rituals and ceremonies. Central to this knowledge is the concept of the Dream.

This temporary exhibition presents the drawings, photographs and certain paintings that the Belgian artist Henri Evenepoel (Nice, 1872- Paris, 1899) produced during his Algerian period. Despite it being a difficult time in his life, the drawings and paintings made during this period are considered to be among the best of his work. Some fifty known sketches and watercolours show that here, too, it is mainly the human figure that fascinates him. This relatively small number can be explained on the one hand by the fact that Algerians did not want to be portrayed, and on the other by the frequent use of his photo camera, with which he took more than 400 pictures in the four months he spent on the African continent.

Tanya Goel's (1985, New Delhi, India) work is characterised by a methodical approach in which spontaneity and methodically calculated order are simultaneously present. Her dense, complex and ambitiously scaled works evoke the rigorous exploration of abstraction and the implementation of a mathematical creative process; playing with the ambiguity created by the delicate balance between structure and chaos.

Omar Ba’s work (1977, Senegal) is characterised by its enigmatic nature and its great poetic intensity. He seeks to express his subconscious and his symbolic interpretation of reality, therefor contrasting with the common didactic narrative. The artist deals with themes such as chaos, destruction and dictatorship, draping his political discourse in a veil of poetry thanks to a pictorial language that is entirely his own, both fierce and delicate.

As part of the Museum in Questions campaign launched in the autumn of 2021, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium are keen to participate in the debate surrounding current social matters. Two exhibition rooms contextualise two burning topics for museums around the world: by shedding scientific light on the questions of colonialism and diversity, on the one hand, and the problem of the restitution of cultural goods looted during the Second World War, on the other, the Royal Museums aims to be a laboratory for reflection that will enable us to participate in the construction of the museum of tomorrow, by insisting on how scientific research, one of the museum's primordial missions, can contribute to the contemporary debate.

Unfortunately, the 2020 edition of the Science and Culture exhibition at the Royal Palace cannot take place in situ. However, Belspo devised an alternative but original route, adapted to the circumstances, through a virtual exhibition.
And why not? The Federal Scientific Institutions offer a route through a selection of works of art, objects or films on the theme of "Birth". They are followed by Sciensano, CINEMATEK, the National Geographical Institute (NGI) and two departments of Belspo.
Through the virtual exhibition Birth, the Federal Scientific Institutions (FWI) offer the general public the opportunity to explore a broad thematic framework, including works of art, natural specimens and phenomena, scientific research topics and archival documents or photographs.
The theme of birth and origin in the broadest sense is a recurring theme in many researchers working in sometimes very diverse fields, including astrophysicists, historians, archaeologists, biologists, doctors, geologists and palaeontologists. From their respective fields, they look at the theme of birth from their own specific point of view. How did the universe, heaven and earth come into being? How does a living being come to life? How do natural phenomena arise? What cultural practices are associated with birth and how do they understand it? Why are documents kept as birth certificates?
