Euridice Zaituna Kala - 'Daylighting: maar het is het water dat spreekt, mais c'est l'eau qui parle'

In her work, Euridice Zaituna Kala (born in 1987 in Maputo, Mozambique) researches and highlights the multiplicity of narratives within historical periods that are sometimes opaque. Her exhibition Daylighting explores the relationship between water, nature and human narratives in a continuum. This exhibition in La Loge follows an earlier presentation in spring 2025 at La Criée art centre in Rennes, France. Through a moving installation that includes industrial and blown glass, transparent images, coloured lights, ancient seeds and multilingual narratives, Euridice Zaituna Kala delves into the past of people and ecosystems – such as that of the fully covered Senne River in Brussels – that once thrived in urban areas. By attempting to establish new links between these contexts, she challenges the dominant vision of the city, which is purely growth-oriented. A touring exhibition co-produced with La Criée contemporary art centre in Rennes.
