During the upcoming Erfgoedweekend, the Royal Academy Antwerp garden will be reactivated as a new exhibition space: Academy Open Air.

Curators Vaast Colson and Leon Vranken, both visual artists and lecturers at the Academy, invited students to submit a proposal for a work that dares to enter into a dialogue with this special environment. They chose the most inspired proposals for the exhibition ‘Historie, Heesters & Meesters’.
