Friday is Weekly: a summary of what the team has seen, read, listened to and wants to share with you.

Eva Kirilof, the account to follow

On the networks, there is the good and then there is the not-so-good. The Instagram account of the Belgian art historian Eva Kirilof falls into the first category. She even makes the ‘very good’ bracket. On her account, she provides space for art created by women. She dissects a work, a trend or a phenomenon. She turns the spotlight on women artists and their life journeys. Each of her Instagram posts is brimming with information and well-known or less well-known works. She immerses us in artistic universes which date back several decades or even several centuries. No matter the era, the key observation remains the same: women have always fought for their rights and women artists have only rarely been valued. If you are not on the social network where the image rules, Eva Kirilof has published an essay, ‘Une place.’ In this work, she encourages us to reconsider the position and the role of women within Western culture.

Foodie, the application to download

Normally a fan of unedited photographs, I sometimes like to slightly modify the pics which have piled up in my phone. Warmer tones, stronger emphasis on the brightness, etc. Nothing extravagant and nothing which distorts the basic photo, just the wish to add the little something which will enhance the image. To make these alterations I use the application Foodie – Camera for life. An eyeopener for those who, like me, have a level nearing zero concerning InDesign. This app allows you to make simple and effective adjustments. So we are ditching the black-and-white and sepia classics, very fashionable in the time of Skyblogs, but slightly outdated today!

This app was initially created to enhance food photos, but nowadays users put it to work on all of their photos. All told, a good hundred adaptable filters to help you out!

Bright Brussels, the illuminated festival

Between February 16 and 19, the capital was lit up thanks to Bright Festival. Three neighbourhoods were given pride of place: the Royal quarter, the European quarter and the Sainte-Marie–Lehon district. As happens each year, pop-up light and mapping installations took over Brussels. A firm favourite was Le Bal des facéties (The Ball of Pranks), which is very aptly named; produced by Spectaculaires, the event took place on the museum square. This 360° installation immersed us in a colourful and illuminated universe, offering a mixing of genres: flowers, snow figures, a punk head, a heart, etc. And all of it with a catchy musical backdrop! A delicious mix of poetry and the absurd, which proved captivating. Only a year to wait before the next edition.
