Brussels City of Stories is a participatory project that aims to inhabit the territory of Brussels in a poetic way by filling the city with the stories of the people who live there.
We all have a story, but mostly stories! Funny or not so funny, beautiful or surprising, true or imaginary, stories follow us wherever we go and cross paths through the encounters that connect people and places.
Brussels, with its 180 nationalities and almost a hundred languages, is full of stories that are just waiting to be told!
For this 2nd edition, on 4 June 2022, Brussels City of Stories: Connections will fill the transport space with stories of encounters in which they are the setting.
The deadline for submitting stories is 1 April.
