Camiel Van Breedam in The Bibliotheca Wittockiana.
As travelling abroad remain restricted at the moment, we (me and my art-loving friend) are travelling every month within Belgium to visit museums we've never been to yet. Well, you can be a tourist in your own country, aren't you?
On Saturday morning, following our passion for books and discovering that we haven't been to The Bibliotheca Wittockiana yet, we took a train and started our journey. Upon arrival in Brussels, we decided to take a walk and enjoy the beauty of the city, soaking in the warm morning sun. So unusual for this time of the year.

2. Reverting to Type 2020 is an exhibition of contemporary letterpress protest posters. These are artworks with something to say: sounding a warning signal about the global climate crisis, railing against fake news and surveillance capitalism, calling out racism, sexism and fighting for equal opportunities and, of course, reacting to the coronavirus pandemic.
This website serves as a digital record of the physical exhibition held at Standpoint Gallery in London, UK which displayed 200 posters from 105 artists in 16 countries.
Curated by Richard Ardagh and Graham Bignell of New North Press the project marks 10 years since their first Reverting to Type exhibition. As well as showcasing the work of the global letterpress community, New North Press have also produced twenty-six collaborative prints especially for the exhibition (cats A–Z) with invited artists, designers, poets, comedians, asylum-seekers, adults with learning disabilities and young people. Check out the full tour of the exhibition - link
