What happens when craftsmanship, stories, and movement come together?
Einat Tuchman and Yassin Mrabtifi share the story behind Urban Rituals & Bildy Market: two projects creating space for connection, creativity, and community.
From handmade stories at the market to a participatory dance ritual where people from different backgrounds move together: art becomes a way to strengthen community.

We are delighted to invite you to *magh- ✨✨✨
*magh- is a site-specific Adventure Lecture Performance by Julla Kroner (@postbotenschreck ), blending magical realism, developed in 2023 and now presented at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) in collaboration with Platform 0090.
Up to ten participants follow a guided tour using a shared iPad that reveals augmented reality images—dreams of the Fuller’s pirates—while a portable speaker provides an immersive soundtrack.
Practical:
- *magh- (performance walk) from Monty to KMSKA on Thursday 14/05: 13.30 – 14.30 + 16.00 –17.00
- *magh- (performance walk) from Monty to KMSKA on Friday 15/05: 14.30 – 15.30 + 16.00 - 17.00
- *magh- (performance walk) from Monty to KMSKA on Saturday 16/05: 14.30 – 15.30 + 16.00 – 17.00
- *magh- (performance walk) from Monty to KMSKA on Sunday 17/05: 14.30 – 15.30 + 16.00 – 17.00
The performance explores the museum’s architecture and hidden spaces, weaving an alternative history that connects industrialization, the museum’s construction, and the mythical pirates who inscribed their dreams into the building itself. Combining architecture, history, technology, and fiction, magh- offers a unique narrative experience between a tour, lecture, and adventure.
