Inas Halabi
Inas Halabi is an artist and filmmaker who lives and works between Palestine and the Netherlands. Her practice explores the manifestation of social and political power, as well as the impact of overlooked or suppressed histories on contemporary life. Her solo exhibition at La Loge is one chapter of an ongoing research and the creation of a 16mm film (The Right of Return) that investigates the establishment of Israeli national parks atop demolished Palestinian villages. The project examines the intersection of colonialism and greenwashing, revealing traces of violence embedded in the environment. Sound and moving images strive to capture the layers of trauma, colonial violence, and dispossession that shape a landscape continually transformed by political and ecological forces.

La Loge is a Brussels-based space dedicated to contemporary art, architecture and theory that began its activities in 2012. Its aim is to develop a critical program that emerges from the connection to the reality it is embedded in. By inviting multivocal, heterogeneous perspectives, La Loge aims to gain a more nuanced understanding of cultural and societal issues. Architects, artists and cultural agents are invited to develop propositions in which they seek out the characteristic and the peculiar within their practices. La Loge is a space where ideas, discussion and presentation coexist.
La Loge’s identity stems from the architectural gem that houses it, as well as from the commitment and concerns of its founders. La Loge values engagement of thought and feels particularly interested in exploring questions of space, habitat and use. The intimate sphere of La Loge contributes to a context where conversations with its audience and the diversity of protagonists it invites can be initiated and sustained.
La Loge is a privately initiated non-profit association founded by architect Philippe Rotthier.
