Fondation Thalie
Founded in 2014 by collector, patron and publisher Nathalie Guiot, the Brussels-based Fondation Thalie has been presenting exhibitions of both historic and emerging international artists as well as an art collection since 2018. The Foundation is committed to raising awareness of ecological issues through the arts, thanks in particular to its "Creators facing the climate emergency" meeting program, its publications and its residency (Brussels, Arles). Each exhibition supported by the Foundation demonstrates its support for contemporary creation through commissions, acquisitions and off-site satellite projects.

Programme
Take a seat, have a glass of tea. Sara Ouhaddou
French-Moroccan artist Sara Ouhaddou unveils for the first time a series of photographs revealing the daily lives of the craftspeople she has been working with for the past ten years, the fruit of various projects carried out in Morocco, Tunisia and Japan.
Between social photography and sculptural works, there emerges a certain form of poetry of the long term; a way of reading the world that goes against the injunctions of globalization, thanks to an ecology of reuse that the artist is keen to inscribe in a resolutely contemporary approach to art.
