From Africa Palace to AfricaMuseum
In 1897, King Leopold II of Belgium opened the Brussels International Exposition, which, in the Palace of the Colonies, showcased objects and people from the Congo Free State. They were displayed as the property of the King, who was the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908. The Palace of the Colonies was a combination of classically inspired imperial architecture and references to the Congo. The exposition was a huge s…
Kris Martin
Kris Martin: Altar/Altering Perspectives Flemish artist Kris Martin’s work exists in relationship to the city of Ghent and his reflection on that city’s medieval past. His pieces that implicitly engage with the Ghent Altarpiece by Hubert and Jan van Eyck question the position of human beings in both physical and subjective relationships to works of art. They invite viewers, particularly residents of Ghent, to participate in a new narrative of Ghe…
Flemish Art
“Nowhere in the world are there cities of art in such close proximity to each other as in Flanders” [...]
Absence and Presence
How should the history of Black Americans be included in the physical landscape and memorialised? What new visual vocabularies are needed to expand the idea of the nation? Nona Faustine’s White Shoes series (begun in 2012) provides a compelling counternarrative to stereotypical and racist representations of Black Americans in public spaces. With her body, Faustine explores the links between colonialism, racism, and capitalism that continues to be…
‘The living history of war’
This article takes the Memorial Museum Passchendaele, 1917 as a case study to examine living history as an instructive, interactive, and engaging means for both adult and youth to connect with museum content of the First World War. Located in Zonnebeke, Belgium, the museum provides an interpretation of the material culture – the objects in the museum – through a complex performance in which the visitor attempts to comprehend the horror of the war…
A Lion for Flanders
In Flanders, Belgium, public acts of national allegiance are often grounded in the political rhetoric of the Great War that was, and continues to be, promoted by several powerful symbols, most visibly the Flemish lion – the official symbol of Flanders and, in its alternate version, the separatist Flemish nationalist movement. The examination of the reliance on the image of the Flemish lion at two annual pilgrimages to the World War I Belgian batt…
Flemish Nationalism and the Great War
Karen Shelby addresses the IJzertoren Memorial, which is dedicated to the Flemish dead of the Great War, and the role the monument has played in the discussions among the various political, social and
IJzerbedevaart
As noted in prior chapters, the IJzer Pilgrimage began as a simple commemoration ritual to the sites of the ten primary IJzer martyrs. Since it was difficult to prioritize one over the other, the IJzertoren was built to commemorate not only these ten, but all of the fallen sons of Flanders. But once built, some five years after the idea was broached, the IJzertoren became a symbol for the conflict over which Flemish memory to commemorate: the her…
A Flemish Nation
The historical and territorial consequences of a nationalistic Flemish identity are linked to the primacy of the Flemish language for the “occupants of a territory that has been historicized and subjects of a history that has been territorialized.” 1 The contemporary political and linguistic division of Belgium into two united, but distinct districts, the French-speaking Walloons in the South and the Dutch-speaking Flemish in the northwest, has i…
