The Image Generator

From 17–19 September, Kunsthal Extra City hosts the eighth edition of The Image Generator. Under the theme sound, the three-day festival brings together an international line-up of artists exploring the intersections of visual art, performance and sound.

Throughout the festival, installations, performances, sound works and artistic interventions unfold across the former Dominican church that houses Kunsthal Extra City. Visitors are invited to move freely through the building and discover the programme at their own pace.

Younes Baba-Ali is invited by the Image Generator (BE) to present Carroussa Sonore in Antwerp for the first time. on this occasion, Baba-Ali launched an open call inviting artists from around the world to submit a sound piece that resonates with the urban environment: a space shaped by constant movement, exchange, and transformation, while retaining distinct identities. from the submissions received, 11 pieces were selected and can be heard on a continuous loop on Carroussa Sonore.

This iteration is realized by Younes Baba-Ali together with : Linus Bonduelle (BE), Garam Choi (KR), Taïsa Lara Colson (BE), Simohammed Fettaka (MA), Masimba Hwati (ZW), Romane Iskaria (FR), Nikolay Karabinovych (UA), Laryssa Kim (CD/IT), Androa Mindre Kolo (CD), Snoepdoos (William Ludwig Lutgens + Matthias Mayz-Yzebaert) (BE), Haythem Zakaria (TN)
