Sunday 26 April
4 – 4:50 PM at the Tribune

In conversation with Jot Fau, Ariane Loze and Guy Woueté 

Recently, Rossella Biscotti was selected as the laureate of the BelgianArtPrize 2027. However, as the BAP2027 jury was highly impressed by the quality of the artistic practices presented for the BelgianArtPrize 2027, it decided not only to select a laureate but also to award three Special Jury Prizes to Jot Fau, Ariane Loze, and Guy Woueté. They will be given a group exhibition at the Ixelles Museum at the end of 2027, along with a prize of €5,000. Roxane Baeyens, director of the BelgianArtPrize, will engage in conversation with the three Special Jury Prizes winners about what this recognition means to them and look ahead with them to what the future holds.
