Currently at AFFILIATE, former WIELS resident Rebecca Jane Arthur (@rj_arthur) presents Gossips & Ghosts.   Gossips & Ghosts is the first chapter of an audiovisual research project, filmed on 16mm, revisiting how “gossip” – once meaning close friend or companion – was transformed into a term of ridicule, historically contributing to the erosion of female solidarity.   In response, Arthur gathers voices reading feminist theory on silence, storytelling, and resistance, foregrounding the sharing of knowledge as a form of collective power and reclaiming “gossip” as a form of feminist kinship.   🗓️ On view at AFFILIATE until 30 May. 📍Rue du Jardin des Olives 3 (Olivetenhof), Brussels 🕔 Open Thursday to Saturday, 14:00–18:00 🆓 Free entrance AFFILIATE is a space dedicated to projects by alumni of the WIELS Residency Programme   Rebecca Jane Arthur is an artist based in Brussels. She is co-founder of the artist-run production and distribution platform @elephy_production, artistic doctoral researcher at KASK @schoolofartsgent, where she teaches in the visual arts department and lectures on feminist theory, and contributor to the online film criticism platform @sabzian.be.   Gossips & Ghosts is supported by the Flemish Community Commission (VGC), KASK, and elephy. taken in Rue du Jardin des Olives by @rj_arthur

Glad to be part of the @rj_arthur solo "Gossips & Ghosts" at AFFILIATE @wiels_brussels 🧵 "Gossips & Ghosts" is the first chapter of an audiovisual project by Rebecca Jane Arthur that brings together women in a collective reading circle and celebrates citation as feminist memory.

It unfolds through voicing, citing, listening, and gathering – acts that resist isolation and build a collective feminist memory. — The show will be on from 13 to 30 May.

ONSDAG 26.11 kl 18: BE GOOD, IF YOU CAN’T BE GOOD, BE GOOD AT IT Film, høytlesning og samtale med kunstner Rebecca Jane Arthur. Arthurs intime portretter av kunstnerkollegaer, venner og familiemedlemmer viser oss hvordan individuelle og personlige drømmer og veivalg er tett sammenvevd med klassespørsmål. Programmet presenterer et utvalg portretter av kvinner, med og uten privilegiet av å ha et kunstnerisk prosjekt, inkludert utdrag fra Arthurs kommende film om Camilla Collett. Et program om frigjøringsreiser, tilgang på språk og ambisjoner, om New York som projeksjonsflate, den innflytelsesrike belgiske filmskaperen Chantal Akerman og mor-datter-forhold både foran og bak kamera. Samtale med Arthur og Silja Espolin Johnson, inkludert høytlesning fra boka Be Good, If You Can’t Be Good, Be Good at It Boom Boom Boom der Arthur reflekterer over stemmene i og utenfor sitt filmatiske arbeid. Forfilm: En fire finger ting i seg selv, kapittel 1 (2025, regi: Tarje Eikanger Gullaksen) Arrangementet er del av serien Kunstnerportrettet, støttet av Norsk Filminstitutt. //////// Arthur’s intimate portraits of fellow artists, friends and family members show us how everyday accounts and personal searches for emancipation and connection, are intertwined with social and political struggles beyond the individual. The program presents a selection of portraits of women, with and without the privilege of artistic endeavours, including a sketch for Arthur’s upcoming film on Camilla Collett. A program on the everyday experience of creation, on New York as a projection surface, on the influential Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman and mother-daughter relationships on and off camera. The screening will be followed by a conversation between Arthur and Silja Espolin Johnson, as well as a reading from the book Be Good, If You Can’t Be Good, Be Good at It where Arthur reflects on the voices inside and outside of her cinematic work.

🦜 This Saturday, 14 June, from 15:00 - 19:00, join us at @harlan_levey_projects for the festive opening of the group exhibition 'Electric Green Parakeets (and other International Brusselaars)' 🥂, featuring work by @haseeb_w_ahmed @rj_arthur @marcin_dudek @ermiaskifleyesus @orso_o0o @angyvirpadilla @yoelpytowski and Mostafa Saifi Rahmouni. 👏 Thanks to @harlan_levey & @winnie_kwok_wing_lam for this invitation! 💚 🎬 Starring @zamzadeh @meinersanna and #constanceneuenschwander , "Barefoot Birthdays on Unbreakable Glass" (English spoken with French subtitles) is on display till 12 July. In "Barefoot Birthdays on Unbreakable Glass", three women reflect on art creation, immigration, and their own mother-daughter relationships: relationships cut short, relationships evolving, relationships to treasure. Following insights of independent experiences of love and loss, they unite in one space to celebrate a new chapter of life and friendship.

On Wednesday 18 June @elephy_production presents 'Talking Collectively– Mother Artists' @beursschouwburg with contributions by author of 'How Not To Exclude Artist Mothers (and Other Parents)' Hettie Judah, artist Laure Prouvost, film curator Sophia Satchell Baeza, artist Vida Dena, and Emeraude Kabeya from Kunstenpunt/Flanders Arts Institute. Carefully curated and moderated by our own artist-mother Christina Stuhlberger, this roundtable conversation brings together artists, cultural workers, and others to reflect on how parenthood intersects with artistic practices and discuss the difficulties, contradictions, structural pressures, moments of joy, and often invisible struggles that come with navigating care and creativity. 🎞 The afternoon includes an experimental film screening suitable for children, curated by Sophia Satchell Baeza, followed by a collaging workshop around motherhood led by Vida Dena. 🖼 All is for free, but please reserve if you can to make seating comfy for all!

Scotland! 💙 Thanks to @alchemyfilmandarts team, I'm coming home and bringing a wee film with me! 🌈 On Friday 1 May, 'BAREFOOT BIRTHDAYS ON UNBREAKABLE GLASS' is in the programme 'THINGS THAT LINGER', together with Niya Abdullahi’s 'NALASHI' Lewis Teckkam’s 'THINKING ALLOWED' Elian Mikkola‘s 'THE HOUSE WAS THERE BEFORE ME'. I can't wait to discover these films together with you in the cinema! 👏 Special thanks to Milo Clenshaw for his programme notes on our films! 'Produced as part of a wider project in homage to the late Chantal Akerman, Rebecca Jane Arthur’s 'Barefoot Birthdays on Unbreakable Glass' presents a triptych of intimate 16mm portraits of three women. While the artist remains behind the camera, she is reflected in the proximity and tenderness of each relationship, capturing glimpses of gestures both enacted and embodied. The quartet comes together to celebrate a birthday, leaving behind earlier conversations around mother-daughter relationships, creativity, migration and identity for a joyful moment of communality.' -- Milo Clenshaw @milo_clenhaw ◾ Friday 2 May 2025 ◾ 10:00 – 11:30 / 65′ + Q&A @heartofhawick ◾ Pay what you can afford: £5 / £7 / £9 ◾ Descriptive subtitles ◾ Quick tickets link in our bio Ft. @rj_arthur @intenti0 @lewis.te001 @elmikkola @elephy_production @kunstencentrumnona @vlaamsaudiovisueelfonds #Hawick #ScottishBorders #AlchemyFilmFestival25 #EmbraceTheStrange #ExperimentalFilm taken in Heart of Hawick by @rj_arthur
