Zinneke Parade (biannual)

Over a two-year period, Zinneke builds intense collaborations between residents, organisations, collectives, schools and artists from different neighbourhoods of Brussels and beyond. It’s a social and artistic project where people develop their creativity and explore imagination with others.

Samhain (biannual)

In October 2006 Dommelhof organised the first edition of the event Samhain in close collaboration with Musica and MET-X. The idea of this event is to offer an alternative for over-commercialised Halloween by returning to the origin of the Celtic ritual with music, theatre and fire. Luc Mishalle was curator for that and the following editions of this event. More info on www.musica.be

Stadsvisioenen (2009)

In spring 2009 the city of Mechelen held its first edition of the cultural event Stadsvisioenen (visions of the city).

MET-X also curated the opening- and closing act of the festival. More info on www.stadsvisoenen.be
