The first of the three phases of Contour Biennale 9 is aligned with the Waxing Crescent Moon Phase, the time that follows the New Moon. Two days of lectures, performances, screenings, installations and discussions will address the themes and associations related to the state that comes just before completion: a phase that is in progress and still growing.
With special attention to the past and how it carries the seeds of any moment in time within it, particular questions will be situated in contemporary Belgium: who is writing the history of colonisation and migrations, who is struggling for decolonisation, and who is creating the futurity of blackness within Europe.
Contributors to the first phase are: Amandine Gay, Black Speaks Back, Black(s) to the Future, Cadine Navarro, Enough Room for Space, Fallon Mayanja, Greyzone Zebra, Laura Nsengiyumva, Monique Mbeka Phoba, Picha, Saddie Choua, The Black Archives, and The Writer's Bench.
Contour Biennale 9 tickets for 11, 12 and 13 January 2019 are now available. Admission to each performance, film screening, masterclass, workshop or talk costs 5 euros. Your admission ticket also allows you to visit the exhibition at any time during the weekend. Tickets for the exhibition alone cost 3 euros..
