ANTWERP ARTWEEKEND, BELGIUM

ANTWERP ARTWEEEKEND

12 ANTWERP

May 14-24, 2026

Antwerp, Belgium

Mariane Ibrahim announces a two-floor presentation at 12Antwerp during Antwerp Art Weekend (May 14 – 17, 2026). Across the revitalized Art Nouveau building, the gallery presents solo exhibitions by Raphaël Barontini and Slimen Elkamel, alongside a curated selection of works by artists from the program. The presentation will extend past Art Weekend, until May 24, 2026.

Timed to coincide with Antwerp Art Weekend, Mariane Ibrahim’s presentation at 12Antwerp is conceived in dialogue with one of Belgium’s most active contemporary art contexts. Bringing together strong institutions across the city and Brussels, Antwerp offers a compelling setting for a project centered on historical memory.

The project also builds on an institutional conversation in Belgium around several artists in the gallery’s program. Among these connections are Raphaël Barontini’s presentation at Museum Hof van Busleyden, Mechelen (Knights of the Golden Fleece: A Brilliant Myth Unraveled, 2024); Eva Jospin’s Panorama at Fondation Thalie, Brussels (2023); Amoako Boafo and Ian Mwesiga in When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting at BOZAR, Brussels (2025); and Zohra Opoku in The Last Place They Thought Of at Kunsthal Mechelen / De Garage, Mechelen (2024–25) and Face to Face with Monet, The Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, The Netherlands (2025).
