On the occasion of Antwerp Pride (5–9 August 2026), held this year under the theme Fearless, Annie Gentils Gallery presents UNI, a group exhibition bringing together LGBTQIA+ artists and allies. 

The exhibition is curated by Annie Gentils Gallery and Tom Sanders.

 

In Memory of Marijke De Roover (1990 - 2026)

 We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of the promising and highly talented artist Marijke De Roover, who passed away in a tragic accident on Saturday, 25 July, just one week before the opening of UNI.

Her work and presence is an important part of this exhibition. We mourn the loss of a remarkable young artist whose talent and artistic voice will be deeply missed.

SIETSKE VAN AERDE - SCREENING 1000 GIRLS, A PLACE WE GO TO - AT BOUTROS GALLERY PROVINCIESTRAAT 54, ANTWERP-

SCREENINGS: 14/08 ( 20:00 - 21:00) - 15/08 ( 16:00 - 17:00 / 20:00 - 21:00)- 16/08 CLOSING EVENT ( 16:00 - 17:00)

Inspired by the nymphs from Ovid’s *Metamorphoses*, who are constantly changing form as a result of the harm inflicted upon them by the gods, the film tells the story of a group of people searching for ways to exist in a world that can sometimes be harsh. Van Aerde films her own surroundings and captures friends, artists and other passers-by on camera as they talk about themselves. We see various inner portraits unfold.
