Before Wisdom X OCULUS

Before Wisdom X OCULUS is a live music performance and exhibition by Pink Oculus enriched by an audiovisual installation developed by audiovisual artist Boris Acket, spatial artist Dennis Vanderbroeck and researcher Vincent van Velsen.

The starting point for the development of OCULUS is the new music by singer and performer Pink Oculus and (substantive and artistic) research by Vincent van Velsen into Afrofuturism, which has many interfaces with the music and performances of Pink Oculus.

In 'Before Wisdom', eyes are slowly opened to a future, new reality: one of strength, beauty and empowerment. It is Esperanza's personal experiences that further resonate on social issues such as black and female empowerment, which form the basis for the collaboration with Dennis Vanderbroeck, Vincent van Velsen and Boris Acket and which is taken as the starting point for the scenography 'OCULUS'.

  • Exhibition opening: 20h
  • Performance by Pink Oculus: 20h30 - 21h15
