Family day at the M HKA

Tijdens de Familiedag you determine how you experience your visit. Walk around freely, join an activity, or linger where it feels nice. Discover art in a playful way together with your family or friends, with attention to experiencing, discovering, and experiencing together. Family days mark the beginning of each season and give families the chance to discover and experience the new exhibitions together. The next edition will take place in April. Program The Salon – we refuse_d : Traces and gestures 11:00-17:00 | Floor 1 Step into the Salon and experiment at your own pace. Play with materials, questions, and gestures, and discover unexpected ways to come into contact with the themes of we refuse_d. What you make or leave behind grows with the traces of others. Some things are tangible, others remain unspoken. Take your time, or just pop in and leave again. A guide is present from 11:00 to 17:00.

Pop-up screen printing studio – My backpack 13:00-15:30 | Gelijkvloers In our screen printing studio you print an image of artist Stef Van Looveren on a backpack, in which a seed or a face appears.
