The Horst Digital Lab isa three-day intense & multidisciplinary weekender where we offer inspiration, togetherness and playfulness on December 11, 12 & 13. During these three days we explore various topics through five in-depth panels which are alternated with a soundscape walk, an introduction to dharma techno meditation, an ancestral Chicago house-infused voodoo circle, the exclusive screening of cult film ‘If I think of Germany Tonight‘, various cooking sessions with our guest chef Maël Schamp, DJ-sets & live performances.
The digital Lab has been shaped in close partnership with KU Leuven & Nachtplan.
How do we build resilient nightlife communities?
During the Horst digital Lab we pause, reflect and examine the above challenge through five panels:
→ Determining the societal importance of nightlife → Enhancing personal and collective wellbeing through nightlife → Decolonising music & nightlife culture → Becoming a real community → The architecture & design of club culture
We’ve invited influential and creative minds from around the world to join in. Among the confirmed speakers are: Cornelius Harris (Underground Resistance, Detroit), Authentically Plastic (Nyege Nyege, Uganda), Giulio Margheri (OMA, Rotterdam), Eamon Harkin (Nowadays, New York), Jozef Wouters (Decoratelier, Brussels), Eris Drew (T4T LUV NRG, Chicago), Lutz Leichsenring (VibeLab, Berlin), Jozefien De Leersnyder (KU Leuven, Leuven) and many others.
We’ll bring a bit of nightlife into your home.
Do you remember dancing together? Pounding beats in our ears, the smell of mingled sweat, the mind-inducing catharsis? It’s harsh, we know. As our clubbing hiatus will be extended for a while longer, we’re proposing the option of bringing a bit of nightlife into your home.
In a retro-reflective conservatory, a scenography by Philip Janssens, is where we invite Belgian artists to play and guide you through the weekend. Together we revalue the in-between moments and yearn for the dancefloor.
→ An ambient sleep-in session with Roméo Poirier → Music for sharing plates with Kim Kenis and Aso Asin. → Wake-up and explore with Lieven Martens. → A reflection of live with Soft Focus and Kuba → Yearning for a dancefloor with DTM Funk, AliA & Bjeor.
