From 12 October 2024 to 5 January 2025, the Love is Louder exhibition at Bozar (Centre for Fine Arts of Brussels) explores the many facets of love, its tensions, and its various forms.
Navigating between the personal and the political, the exhibition zooms in on three dimensions of love: romantic love, kinship and friendship, and love in a broader social context. In times of increasing polarization, the exhibition focuses on what connects us.
From the Summer of Love of 1967 to today, the exhibition will show how in the last 60 years we have moved beyond the image of the traditional couple or the nuclear family, how friendships shape us and what it means to put love at the heart of society. The exhibition shows over 120 works of 80 national and international artists in a wide range of media such as painting, sculpture, video, film and multimedia installations.
