Heritage Days - collage workshop: Brussels townhouses

The Liszt Institute Brussels takes part for the fourth consecutive year in the Heritage Days, this city-wide celebration organised by Urban Brussels.

This year’s theme, “Our Landscape, Our Legacy”, invites us to rediscover Brussels through its many landscapes and to reflect on how the city’s buildings, streets, public spaces and inhabitants shape the way we experience it.

Join architectural illustrator Johanna Medvey for a creative collage workshop inspired by the Brussels townhouse (maison de maître) and the architectural heritage of the city. Participants will explore Brussels through images, shapes, colours and textures, creating their own imaginative Brussels landscape.

Rather than simply reproducing buildings, the workshop encourages participants to look at the city from a new perspective and to compose a personal visual interpretation of its architectural heritage. Through collage, familiar streets and façades can be rearranged, transformed and brought together into a new urban landscape.

The workshop is open to children aged 6-12, with no previous artistic experience required, and will be conducted in French, English and Hungarian.
