Café Kafka
February 7, 2010At this café you get jazz to accompany the drinks instead of food. The Kafka is a dark and gloomy establishment of the type that Brussels aficionados love. It’s worth passing by just to appreciate the long mirror that stretches along the wall at the back. Free jazz concerts are held on a regular basis, so watch out for posters or just call and check. Not surprisingly, there’s a slightly Kafkaesque feel to the place which can be alleviated by trying some of the 50 beers, 20 vodkas and 10 variations of genièvre.
Paradiso@Diaspora
January 11, 2010One of the goals of this exhibition is to explode the myths surrounding contemporary Jewish culture and ‘lay bare the commercialisation of Jewish life’. Bringing together dozens of young artists from Germany and Italy, including the radical Berlin-based group Meshulasha, ‘Paradiso@Diaspora’ is the centrepiece of this year’s Festival of Jewish Culture. Aiming to be both diverse and provocative, it includes video installations, painting, sculpture and photography.
