BRAL stands for \u2018Brusselse Raad voor de Leefomgeving\u2019 (Brussels Council for the Living Environment) \u2013 today using the underline \u2018Citizen Action Brussels\u2019. Since the start in 1973, the citizen council has been organizing counter-power against demolition of heritage, real estate speculation and social disintegration \u2013 i.e., the process known as \u2018Brusselization\u2019. The council has also been instigator of many counter-projects that were later adopted by the local or regional government, the pedestrian zone at Anspach Boulevard as perhaps the most visible one. Part of the action was the stirring of counter-narratives that introduce new discourse and gives way to different desires lines in the city. The exhibition presents a selection of documents from the archives and traces a line through the history. We will discuss with Tom Lootens, president of BRAL, the universe behind the traces from so many years of urban activism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a title=\"https:\/\/bral.brussels\/nl\/kalender-item\/50-jaar-bral-vernissage-expo\" href=\"https:\/\/bral.brussels\/nl\/kalender-item\/50-jaar-bral-vernissage-expo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\">https:\/\/bral.brussels\/nl\/kalender-item\/50-jaar-bral-vernissage-expo<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a title=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bral.brussels\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bral.brussels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bral.brussels\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Date: Thursday <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">14 November <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">2024, <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">6<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">pm<br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Venue: <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">AMVB, Arduinkaai 28<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">The sofa-talk program is part of the Architecture &amp; Activism seminar organized by <span class=\"markqoru5d6e5\" data-markjs=\"true\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\">Gideon<\/span> Boie and Lieven De Cauter.
