Five fashion designers selected by MAD Brussels revive through original installations video works by five artists proposed by Mehdi-Georges Lahlou, a French visual artist and videographer of Moroccan origin. How can these artists, these women talk across disciplines, aesthetics, cultures and religions? A poetic and political questioning of identity.

Halida Bourghriet, Hiba Farhat, Arianne Foks, Houda Ghorbel et Bouchra Ouizguen (Video) & Sofie D’Hoore, Sandrina Fasoli & Michaël Marson, Johanne Riss, Annemie Verbeke et Marina Yee (Fashion design).
