CurieuCity makes its “debut” in Molenbeek! This new festival, which combines the experimental impact of art with the rigor of science, invites you to discover “the city of the future” in its first edition.

In Molenwest, explore a new public space in full evolution, the result of a collaboration between the Urban Development Company (SAU) and the municipality of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean. Take part in a multitude of diverse activities offered by our partner associations, suitable for all ages and resonating with the needs of the neighborhood.

800 meters away, join us at Park West, in the emerging park between Beekkant and Osseghem, where Brussels Environment and Toestand vzw are beginning a development process. This place promises to be a green space open to all, dedicated to sports, games, and relaxation. Let’s explore the challenges and countless possibilities of this park and create the ideal place for the life of this evolving neighborhood.

CurieuCity offers you a unique experience, as captivating for the young as it is for the elder. Through various artistic works and encounters with scientists, you will discover how science can arouse curiosity, wonder, and inspiration to shape the world around us.

What’s in the program ? Hyperdiverse society, architecture, urban planning, smart cities, urban agriculture, circular economy, and many other exciting topics. Join us at the Molenwest and Park West sites for an outdoor festival brimming with captivating activities.

Join CurieuCity#2 in Forest!

Come and enjoy this unique opportunity for the whole family to marvel at our free festival, where science and art come together.

On the program: exhibitions, workshops, walks, discussions, your projects for the festival and much more! Join us from September 27 to 29, 2024, in the Marais Wiels district to dive into the world of “biodiversity and natural sciences”. 

Continue the CurieuCity adventure with us, exploring emblematic, well-known and lesser-known places in the district from a scientific and creative point of view: At Marais Wiels, marvel at the diversity of nature by discovering the secrets of the local fauna and flora, and testing the quality of the water while observing micro-organisms.

Are you fascinated by the mysteries of mushrooms? Ten Weyngaert  opens the doors to the magical world of fungi, where you’ll learn all about their vital ecological role and the new light they can shed on our society. At P.A.R.T.S , we’re interested in communication and collaboration between species. What can we learn from the language of whales, and what forms of cooperation can we observe in Anne Marie Maes living works of art? If you’re intrigued by the invisible, we invite you to discover the surprising world of rotifers (microorganisms) at l’Imprimerie  or take a tour ofLa Marelle‘s microzoo.

Workshops and games for young and old are on offer at Divercity ,  and La Marelle, as well as the Land Connection Practices participatory art project in Parc Duden.
