Africa Museum is closing its doors for 3 years soon now

leave a comment »

Zondag was het druk in Tervuren, het Africa museum. (hoort dat nog bij Brussel, voor BDW?) extra activiteiten, zoals een muzikant, opgesteld zoals honderd jaar geleden de negers werden geexposeerd? Kinderen spelen voor de primaten-vitrine, en papa speelt op zn mobieltje. Eenmalig kunnen bezoekers de kelders van het museum bezoeken…

Reblogged from Sander de Wilde photography:

Vingt-trois sans-papiers poursuivent depuis bientôt un mois une grève de la faim dans des locaux de la VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) à Bruxelles. Ils entendent par cette action obtenir la régularisation de leur séjour et un permis de travail en Belgique, où la plupart d’entre eux résident depuis plusieurs années déjà. Sans-Papiers Belgique.

Happy to inform you one of my images was chosen for the cover of this weeks BDW (Brussels Weekly).

Another photo on page 2, with a dog strapped to a Colruyt truck, was chosen as photograph of the week.

This was the last time I shot this monthly assignment, because their regular photographer Jo Voets, got back from South-Africa.
