Là is a new pro­ject by Brussels-based artists and film­ma­kers Sirah Foighel Brutmann and Eitan Efrat, rea­li­zed for the duo’s first muse­um solo exhi­bi­ti­on. Là con­ti­nues Brutmann and Efrat’s dia­lo­gue with Chantal Akerman and is an audio­vi­su­al jour­ney bet­ween Belgium and the Negev/al-Naqab desert in Israel/​Palestine, exa­mi­ning the con­vic­ti­on of belon­ging through natu­ral ele­ments and his­to­ri­cal accountability.

This exhi­bi­ti­on opens during GIF, and can be visi­ted at S.M.A.K. until Sep. 8, 2024.
Opening hours during school holi­days: 10:00 — 18:00, clo­sed on Mondays. Outside school holi­days during the week: 09:30 – 17:30.
