slower softer closer transforms the exhibition space into a soft, intimate counter-space within Antwerp Pride. For one day, BURO_ASAP becomes a hub of rest, given over to tenderness, vulnerability and queer kinship. Queerness as radical slowness, as radical softness.
Join us on Sunday, August 9 for a day built around small moments and quiet encounters. There will be a reading corner, a place to sit, room to linger, to just be. This is a soft pride, quiet and romantic. A space to connect, resisting the accelerated tempo of daily life.
We are happy to present artists whose work explores the intimacy of queerness, inviting the audience into moments of shared vulnerability and care through performance.
