On September 16, the Flanders Architecture Institute and DE SINGEL will open the exhibition Tamed Nature. Eva Pfannes from Ooze will give a lecture.
We will festively open the exhibition Tamed Nature in the Blue Hall of DE SINGEL.
On 16 September at 20:00, we’ll take you into the story of the exhibition through an opening speech and an inspiring lecture. Afterwards you can have a drink and explore the exhibition.
Programme:
Tamed Nature explores the layered history of urban greenery through the lens of the city of Antwerp. From the first city parks in the nineteenth century to the rise of climate activism in the latter half of the twentieth century, Antwerp’s transformation reflects global shifts in power dynamics, spatial and social ideals, and our relationship with nature and ecology.
The exhibition uncovers hidden and overlooked stories from the history of urban green spaces. Contemporary artistic and architectural interventions challenge conventional ideas of urban nature and offer a glimpse into a more inclusive, layered, and resilient urban future.

In 2024-2026, the architecture programme of the Flanders Archtecture Institute is all about what we share.
How do shared spaces influence our way of life? In 2024-2026, the architecture program of the Flanders Architecture Institute will focus on what we share. In our exhibitions, lectures, debates, workshops and publications we investigate the different aspects of cohabitation and living together.
