Photo Expo Johan Van Steen & Circles – We have the choice @ BOZAR

  • When? 18 March– 18 April ’17
  • Where? Ravenstein Galerij 49
  • What? Johan Van Steen was a passionate photographer. His dream of presenting his photography to a wider world was broken by the attack of 22 March 2016. The exhibition “Light and Shadow” pays homage to a man able to unite light and shadow in his life and in his art.
    In the same spirit Circles – We have the choice saw the light.  It’s an initiative by his partner Kristin Verellen and a circle of friends, inviting people to come together and connect as an answer to intolerance, blind violence and collective trauma. Everyone touched by or witness to what extremism and terror can do to us as people and as a society is welcome. In ‘Circles’ sharing with others, in the ‘Listening Room’ with a psychotherapist or at the ‘Listening Wall’ where you can leave a testimony.

Circles

Participating in a Circle is free of charge.

Register:
You are registered when you have received a confirmation by e-mail.  If you are coming with more than one person, please register each person individually.

​Can’t join us on any of these days?
More dates will be added. Subscribe to our newsletter  to be kept informed.

​Good to know:
In a Circle you can speak your own language. The facilitators speak Dutch, French and/or English depending on the people present. Even if you do not understand everything everybody says, we see time after time that listening in a Circle takes place on many levels. The language of silence and connection is universal.

Principles in a Circle:

  • What is shared in a Circle is confidential.
  • Each participant agrees to participate authentically and respectfully, and treats the others as equivalent.
  • We speak from human being to human being. This means that nobody speaks in the capacity of a role, function or rank.
  • No press, no pictures, unless all participants have expressed their agreement explicitly.
