Collective Exhibition

Science (De)constructed

Science (De)constructed is an invitation to explore how human knowledge—be it scientific, artistic, or historical—is constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed. Organised by Ohme, this exhibition takes place in the Archives of the City of Brussels, a symbolic venue to question memory, transmission, and the preservation of knowledge.

The exhibition adopts a critical and transdisciplinary approach to scientific research processes and the mechanisms that shape our individual and collective understanding. It examines the methods, tools, and biases involved in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge, while reflecting on the fragility, plurality, and subjectivity of human truths.

Lichensgo – Exhibition

Discover the photo exhibition created by students in Secondary 5 Chemistry Techniques at the Athénée Royal Andrée Thomas. These students took part in Lichens GO, a participatory science programme aimed at assessing the quality of the air around us by studying lichens. 🌱

Lichens, slow-growing organisms sensitive to air pollution, play a unique role in measuring cumulative pollution over several years, complementing modern measurement sensors. Through this project, students were trained to recognise different species of lichen, understand their ecological role, and apply a scientific protocol in the field.

After their training, the students set off to explore the area around the Marais Wiels to assess local air quality using the Lichens GO protocol. Their observations and results are presented in the form of photographs exhibited at La Marelle, offering a visual insight into their work and the conclusions drawn from this study of the urban environment.

This exhibition is a testament to young people’s commitment to environmental research and shows the importance of participatory science in understanding and preserving our environment.
