2012-07-04 – Gülcan and her community work in the women’s voluntary sector in Schaerbeek; Marie-Rose(1) and her involvement in the Quartier Maritime in Molenbeek; Rodrigo and his architect’s perspective on the city that he looks out over in Saint-Josse; Ziambi and the social work in which he enthusiastically engages in Anderlecht… Four beautiful encounters in four different parts of Brussels; four slices of life in Brussels; four compelling personalities; four ‘community faces’ or ‘Visages des quartiers’.
In the course of meetings held in connection with the participatory work in which it has engaged over the last few years with the people of the central districts, the team from the Urban Development Agency (ADT-ATO) for the Brussels-Capital Region came into contact with Gülcan, Marie-Rose, Rodrigo and Ziambi… It was struck by their views of their local areas, which are far removed from the clichés and prejudices to which these areas are often subject. It wanted to enable these viewpoints to be shared with visitors to Bru+ …
These four ‘Visages des quartiers’ are an invitation to (re)discover this part of the region’s territory through the eyes of its own inhabitants.
