Rootwork by Kapwani Kiwanga

In parallel with the exhibition Victor Horta and the Grammar of Art Nouveau, the French and Canadian artist Kapwani Kiwanga has created a new work at Bozar’s invitation: a rug with an ornamental floral pattern, titled Rootwork. The decorative allure of this floor covering is inspired by Art Nouveau and alludes to shared histories between territories that were home to botanic species which were imported to Belgium
