Ignite
Ignite is run by locals, for locals. Fast-paced and merciless, speakers get five minutes to present, making use of twenty slides that auto-advance every fifteen seconds. All presentations are given in English.
Speakers
Harmony Hendrickx
A recent Akademie St. Joost graduate, Harmony is fascinated by the plastic-perfect 1950s. Re-staging classic, almost universal scenes, she injects herself into past times. Find out more tonight.

Four students from ArtEZ will present physical sound installations they made during a 6-week workshop. During the evening visitors will be able to play around with the installations. This round: interactive painting and an installation that sonifies the relationships between people.
