The May/June issue gives way to a new 20-something list, featuring visual artists, photographers, art collectives, dancers, musicians and much more. Twenty people who are a representation of young society in Belgium, a generation ready to rule our world. Let us introduce you to the faces you didn’t realise you wanted to meet!

How would you describe what you do?
Empowering women and expressing myself through visuals.
Nickname(s) people have given you?
Kiki :)
Any new habits?
Positive affirmations every morning and going for walks.
Weirdest dream you’ve had?
They’re all pretty weird, but fun fact: almost every photo concept I did, came from my dreams. I get almost all my inspiration out of my dreams, my notes and voice memos are full of ideas I wrote down in the middle of the night.
Favourite memory?
Showering with a garden hose naked in the garden at midnight with Salomé (I had no shower at that time and it was a really hot summer).
