We cordially invite you on Thursday 28 March at 7pm for another edition of Design Drinks & Talks.
For this edition, we will visit ELDERS, a collective that organises contemporary art exhibitions in Kortrijk in special locations. Among other things, they want to offer young talents at the beginning of their careers a platform.

On stage:

Guided visit through the exhibition by Elders after the talks.
