De 14h à 17h

L'installation "Bruxelles invisible" est le résultat de nombreuses rencontres avec des personnes malvoyantes qui partagent leurs perceptions et leurs ressentis sur Bruxelles et ses quartiers, mais aussi sur leurs déficiences. Ces rencontres ont eu lieu à l'Institut Royal pour Sourds et Aveugles (IRSA) et à La Ligue Braille.

A travers le son et les récits, partez à la découverte des lieux de Bruxelles via leurs regards.

Rencontre: 14h30 - 15h30

Au cours d'une rencontre d'une heure, vous pourrez découvrir le projet mené par Claire Ducène et BNA-BBOT à l'Institut Royal pour Sourds et Aveugles (IRSA) avec de jeunes adolescents et des bénéficiaires de La Ligue Braille.

L'occasion de rencontrer également l'enseignante Bérénice Gervais, mais aussi un des participants, Gérard Barillot.

Ce stage permet aux jeunes de découvrir le monde de la radio et de fabriquer, selon leurs envies, leurs enquêtes sur le terrain de la Cité Querelle. Ils/elles découvriront les outils pour créer un reportage et des bruitages, ainsi que le montage final de leurs enregistrements. Ils/elles pourront se mettre dans la peau d’un·e journaliste, d’un·e enquêteur/trice en s’informant auprès des différentes sources sur les sujets qu’ils/elles auront choisi. Ces moments leur permettront de s’exprimer et d’émettre leur avis. Une expérience que les jeunes pourront partager avec leurs ami·e·s lors de la diffusion d’une émission radio réalisée durant le stage. Ces productions seront également disponibles plus tard dans un installation sonore qui sera construite sur le site de la Cité Querelle.

BNA-BBOT invites you to come and discover the work of its artist in residence Wiet Lengeler.

From Monday to Friday between 1pm-5pm
 

Each year, BNA-BBOT invites an artist for a two-week residency to create a new work from our archives. In 2024, it's Wiet Lengeler.

Wiet Lengeler is a musician and audiovisual artist based in Brussels. Under his artist name Sagat, he has been producing techno since 2008 and has worked with labels such as Vlek Records, Private Stress and Lexi Disques.

On 30 May at 6.30pm Wiet Lengeler presents a video work that explores the links between recording, archiving, memory and imagination. Using games, video synthesis and A.I., he creates an installation based on media archaeology on the one hand and stochastic processes on the other. By attempting to form images and sounds from random finds in the BNA-BBOT sound archive, the installation becomes a metaphor for the way in which contemporary AI processes data.

The voice does not mask... It communicates the uniqueness of the one who emits it, and can be recognised by those to whom one speaks

- Adriana Caverero

During the cultural season 2023-2024, The Post Collective is invited by BBOT, to contribute sonic stories to the institution's programme Narrating Diversity and Brussels' sound archive. The Post Collective is an autonomous platform for co-creation, co-learning and cultural activism, created by people with different means and access to artistic production and education due to their legal status.

Walking inside the pro-Palestinian manifestation on Sunday 22 October, our being together in a common desire resonated with the voices that surrounded us. Rarely one hears in everyday life, the intermingling of mismatched sounds as a transformative roar. At Schuman square, we walk together in mutual struggle, acknowledging our power, amplifying our voices and the stories we share.

As Hannah Arendt explains: Stories do not just show who we are but also what we have in common with others; not just who we think we are but also what shared circumstances shape our lives and our interdependent destinies.

As part of our work within BBOT, we The Post Collective will share on 11 November our common story and the experience of working within the landscape of Art institutions. This experience and ongoing reflection are formalised into a working document: the Paperless Art Alliance Contract (PAACT), a set of mutually agreed conditions from which we would like to work within and beyond the collective. We invite you to enter our common space and contribute to this reflection by sharing yours.

The working group of The Post Collective are: Taziri Al Omrani, Fareed Aziz, Marcus Bergner, Maarten De Vrieze, Firewyni Getahun, Sawsan Maher, Hanan Maher, Mirra Markhaëva, Golnesa Rezanezhad, Lazara Rosell, Elli Vassalou and Souheila Yildiz.

The event is free, please reserve your spot here: https://forms.gle/fs2MTWq86pojqTJi6

Audiowalks offer stories, music, sound experiments, or all kinds of other sensory information that artists and musicians compose for you. With the new app Tracks, discover a variety of sound artists and musicians and the walks they create – seamlessly with your smartphone.

On 23 June, we will present Tracks to the public in Brussels. Listening to a special audiowalk while walking from Kiosk Radio (16h) to Beursschouwburg, this launch event features an immersive audiowalking experience as well as a presentation in Beursschouwburg’s Zilveren Zaal (17h).

Offering a growing collection of audiowalks and many functionalities, Tracks connects anyone with a smartphone to the work of sound artists and musicians to be discovered in the most immediate way.

Search on the map, by name or by keyword to find a ‘track’. Move to the starting point and let the autoplay option use the GPS function of your phone to trigger the walk – or opt for listening without autoplay and start when and where you want.

Audiowalks are guided walks thoughtfully combined with the sensory attention of listening. While walking with headphones on, the sight, scent, and feeling of your surroundings are present, but sounds take the lead. This modulates your usual sense of body and consciousness, promoting a new understanding of the environment. With every step, hear the artist play with sound, experiment with composition, and lead you to new perceptions. Think of a film, where sound and image are strongly linked and controlled by the artist. In audiowalks, the ‘point of view’ becomes the ‘point of hearing’.

Sound artist and Jubilee member Justin Bennett initiated a collaboration with Soundtrackcity, which led to the idea of an app that unites the audiowalks produced by art organisations in Brussels and The Netherlands: Beursschouwburg, BNA-BBOT, Jubilee, Overtoon, Q-O2, and Soundtrackcity. Together, they curate Tracks. Put on your headphones and get walking!

A live radio broadcast from BNA on Radio Tout le Temps and Radio Air Libre to open the Traversons Bruxelles festival organized by Urbanisa'Son.

Initiated by Atelier 210 and after the success of the first two editions, the Brussels Podcast Festival is back with even more attention for diversity, accessibility and multilingualism!

It is in the pursuit of a more inclusive programme that Atelier 210 decided to collaborate with BNA-BBOT for this third edition. Given their common values and ambitions, it was almost natural for these two organisations to join forces.

Music composition for podcasts with Le Motel - FR

Description:

Le Motel offers you an introduction to the composition of music for sound creation or podcasts. How to imagine a musical universe that is true to the story, to the subject? How do you convey emotions to the listener? From theory to practice, create the soundtrack for a podcast with him.

Information:

Podcast X Music - FR

Amaury Rauter, Camille Loiseau, Nastassja Rico and Julien Lemonnier

Description:

For this discussion we will approach the relationship between music and podcasting from different angles. In the first place we will look at podcasts dedicated to music, and which highlight or place it in the foreground outside the overly formatted confines of the radio waves. Then there are the podcasts that are becoming more widespread and that offer a glimpse into the reality of the music business that goes beyond preconceived notions and immerses the listener in its manufacturing secrets and intimate stories. We will finally delve into the subject of music in the podcast and the potential opportunities for musicians to make their mark.

Eva Moeraert

Description:

In this workshop she shows how she has approached this in the past and what she has learned about it over the years. During the workshop she will introduce you to a very specific way of interviewing and put you to work collecting personal stories.

Led by:

Listening Session Sweet Spot - NL

Description:

Sweet Spot is a podcast with work by radio students of the RITCS. The Sweet Spot podcasts differ in genre: a work of fiction, a radio programme, a documentary, or pure audio work: everything is covered.

With their audio installation Room of K., they performed at Zomer van Antwerpen (BE) and International Literature Festival Utrecht (NL) in the autumn of 2020. In the spring of 2021, their four-part podcast Strandhoofden (Beachheads) was released, about the Schildestrand district and its residents.

Creation of sound fiction for children - FR

Ophélie Bouffil et Jeanne Gougeau

Description:

Children are full of imagination, let's give them the space to use it! In this workshop, Les Microsondes offers children the opportunity to create a short radio-fiction to explore their own imaginary world. The programme consists of listening to children's podcasts, an introduction to sound and the creation of sound effects, and the production of a short fiction written by the children themselves!

Microsondes:

Microsondes is a podcast collective founded by Ophélie Bouffil and Jeanne Gougeau. It was born in September 2020 when BNA-BBOT asked the two radio amateurs to create something for the exhibition Brussels Multipli.city II at the CENTRALE for contemporary art. The soundbites about the hybrid nature of language, Brussels neologisms and multilingualism produced for the occasion could also be heard in all STIB stations.

The creators behind Microsondes are passionate about audio in all its forms and make work around very diverse subjects. From the Kurdistan Workers' Party and law and democracy, to cystitis and women's health, to singing at work.
