Address: 39 Rue Adolphe Lavallée / Adolphe Lavalléestraat, 1080 Molenbeek | Event Map | Venue Accessibility Many of us have been confronted with professional situations which are unfair.

We don’t always have the freedom to do the right thing but out of necessity, sometimes, we are able to reshuffle some pieces of the puzzle around to place our values at the centre of our working models. We have invited the Brussels based artist and activist Anna Rispoli to share her thoughts on solidarity and to open our afternoon with an inspiring example.
