Though there are plenty to get lost in  but the ecosystem that forms around them. Between tables stacked with manifestos, zines, photo books, erotic drawings, speculative theory and tender little comics, people drift, talk, reconnect. You hear laughter, advice exchanged between young artists, conversations that start with \u201chave you seen this?\u201d and end in unexpected friendships. Community forms in the small gestures as much as in the programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELS-ASS-BOOK-FAIR-01_2024_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren-48.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELS-ASS-BOOK-FAIR-01_2024_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren-48.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELS-ASS-BOOK-FAIR-01_2024_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren-48-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELS-ASS-BOOK-FAIR-01_2024_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren-48-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELS-ASS-BOOK-FAIR-01_2024_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren-48-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELSASSBOOKFAIR-DAY3_DSCF2991_Date-YYYY_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELSASSBOOKFAIR-DAY3_DSCF2991_Date-YYYY_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELSASSBOOKFAIR-DAY3_DSCF2991_Date-YYYY_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELSASSBOOKFAIR-DAY3_DSCF2991_Date-YYYY_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KANAL_BRUSSELSASSBOOKFAIR-DAY3_DSCF2991_Date-YYYY_5472-x-3648_c-Veerle-Vercauteren-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Readings anchor the weekend: <em>Love &amp; Lightning<\/em>, a new collection of queer and feminist manifestos, brings together voices dreaming of revolution big and small.

Studio bubble returns with flash tattoos whose proceeds support the Trans* Solidarity Fund Belgium. WERKER Collective invites visitors to print their own designs using woodblocks carved from queer histories. And the open mic hosted by Ra\u00efssa Yowali offers a soft, steady stage where voices &#8211; shy, bold, shaky or soaring &#8211; can be held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brussels Ass Book Fair isn\u2019t just an event; it\u2019s a reminder of how alive queer publishing is, and how deeply it thrives when given space. You leave with books, yes, but also with the sense of belonging that comes from seeing your community gather, create and dream together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Capture-decran-2025-11-22-a-18.16.18-723x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50744\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Capture-decran-2025-11-22-a-18.16.18-723x1024.png 723w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Capture-decran-2025-11-22-a-18.16.18-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Capture-decran-2025-11-22-a-18.16.18-768x1087.png 768w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Capture-decran-2025-11-22-a-18.16.18-8x12.png 8w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Capture-decran-2025-11-22-a-18.16.18.png 842w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Brussels Ass Book Fair \u2014 2nd Edition<\/strong><br><strong>Dates:<\/strong> 28\u201330 November 2025<br><strong>Location:<\/strong> K1, Kanal\u2013Centre Pompidou, Havenlaan 1 \/ Avenue du Port 1, 1000 Brussels<br><strong>Opening Hours:<\/strong><br>\u2022 28.11 \u2192 17:00\u201323:00<br>\u2022 29.11 &amp; 30.11 \u2192 11:00\u201319:00<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brusselsassbookfair.be\">www.brusselsassbookfair.be<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brussels doesn\u2019t just host the Brussels Ass Book Fair: it holds space for it.
