Type walk in Ghent. Before & after or from lace to lunch: the changing story of Kraanlei 33.

Long Live the Black Art. Mini-expo at the Museum of Industry, Ghent. 24.01 - 23.02.
From 24 January to 23 February 2026, the participants of this year’s Long Live the Black Art programme will take over a small exhibition space at the Museum of Industry in Ghent.
They’ll be showing a mix of personal work and their final projects from the programme — not just polished prints, but also glimpses into how those prints came to be. Think process, materials, experiments, and the decisions made along the way.
