Lobby of E.R.G, School of Art

"PRE-Occupations artistiques"
Brussels 2007

In E.R.G School of Art, political subjects and concerns are rarely seen in the work of students. On the other hand very few student come from non-European origins, and most are issued from financially comfortable backgrounds.

Two streets down from the School, wa s, at the time a Cultural Center for Immigrants without papers where I proposed my voluntary services as a language teacher . I was to be contacted in the next few days for a special culinary Moroccan evening. The next morning it was evacuated by force by Military Belgian Police.

As the situation wasn't mentioned at E.R.G, the day I was asked to create a "Street Art" piece, I decided to bring this issue into the School's lobby.
