Alter Ensor Screening Event

This spring, MoMu called on young people between the ages of 16 and 25 to share their most creative make-up looks. The ten selected young people were invited for a workshop with Naomi Waku. In August, the young talents gathered at DE SINGEL to create a new make-up look inspired by the work of James Ensor. The process and final results were filmed and photographed in detail and will be revealed on 5 October.

Discover the work of future and current make-up artists. Come wearing your most impressive make-up look and join us in the celebration of Alter Ensor.

The young talents will engage with professionals from the make-up, fashion and art worlds including Inge Grognard, Bianca Quets Luzi, Stef Van Looveren, Karla Q Leon, Sandrine Coutelier, Naomi Waku and Dennis Heyndrickx during a panel talk.

No one does what IKRAAAN does. Inspired by artists like Tupac, she developed her own dreamy singing style at a young age, blending Dutch and Somali. Her music touches on deeply personal themes such as being different and overcoming obstacles. In her work, she embraces both dark periods and her inner strength.

Quatsch Collective is a queer artist group from Antwerp, emerging from the underground scene. Their name, ‘Quatsch,’ meaning ‘nonsense’ in German, reflects their eclectic style. For MoMu, the performers—the creepy Omega, the enigmatic HannaH Stamina, and the campy Miss Ditniet—will bring show that blends contemporary internet culture with classic references to Ensor.
