The group exhibition Fat Birds don’t Fly is about people and their (de)constructed iden­tities. The exhibition shows how artists look at an individ­ual or a community. The artists offer a vision of individual or collective identity, with attention to what happens in the margins by using different means of expression such as painting, texts, photography and video, dance and performance.

In the context of the Louis Paul Boon year, the exhibition intertwines audio clips with quotes from Louis Paul Boon’s 90 People and The Paradise Bird. The kaleido­scopic and timeless body of work of this Aalst­ born writer still provides a fascinating look at how individuals and com­munities build their identity.
