BRUSSELS
ART FOR CITIES is the story of a Belgian photographer and a Belgian Real Estate Developer discovering together the hidden wonders of living cities. Only Brussels, the beating heart of Europe, could be the starting point of that story!
BRUSSELS – Allée du Kaai
At the foot of the UP-site tower, along the Brussels-Charleroi canal, is the “Allée du Kaai”, a citizens’ initiative for the temporary occupation of the “Quai des Matériaux”. Initiated by Brussels Environment in 2014, Allée du Kaai is today a real place of life where skaters and street artists meet to express themselves freely. This particular place hosted the Kosmopolite Art Tour in 2015, bringing together a large number of frescoes, overlaid by others over time.
