Focus: Collectif Faire-Part
Programme IFFR 2026
Spanning two continents, Collectif Faire-Part is an ensemble of Belgian and Congolese artists exploring Belgium’s colonial history, contemporary power dynamics and collective resistance rooted in decolonisation. Through a multidisciplinary practice encompassing film, photography and performance, founding members Anne Reijniers, Paul Shemisi, Nizar Saleh and Rob Jacobs articulate new narratives about Kinshasa, Brussels and the ties that bind them. Marking their first international retrospective, this programme includes the world premiere of What We Said to Brussels Airlines.
