ExhibitionBecoming Otherwise by Juli Bierich and mountaincutters24.01.26—22.03.26
Kunsthal Mechelen and CASTOR are proud to present Becoming Otherwise, joining the practices of Antwerp-based artist Juli Bierich and Brussels-based artist collective mountaincutters. The exhibition runs from January 24 until March 22 and is presented at IKA Mechelen.

Becoming Otherwise examines the material, social, and cultural dimensions of decay and repair. By inhabiting moments of rupture, Bierich and mountaincutters approach vulnerability as a condition through which new forms of existence can emerge. What happens when the unshakeable begins to falter? When the structures we took for granted—political, social, or even the ground beneath our feet—fall apart?

Made possible by IKA Mechelen, Kunsthal Mechelen, celador, The Green Corridor, and Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie (VGC).
