#Alexandria_training


Alexandria: (Re)activating Common Urban Imaginaries’ offers a training process that aims to nurture the historical, societal and artistic knowledge and skills of both heritage and arts professionals. This collective knowledge will be generated through a series of 4 workshops specifically addressed at a general audience and professionals such as archaeologists, historians, curators, urbanists, architects, students, artists and scientists.

The upcoming trainings will be in Morlanwelz (Musée Royal de Mariemont) in October 2022, Brussels (Bozar) and Aarhus (Kunsthal) throughout 2023.
