The event starts at\u00a011:00\u00a0and runs through a dense day of concerts, talks, screenings, workshops, exhibitions, food and encounters, with a programme that feels as festive as it is political.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For queer readers, the appeal is immediate. Yallah Zouz! is not just another cultural day out; it is a place where belonging, history and transmission are treated as living material, and where artistic forms are used to reopen dialogue across communities that are often spoken about separately. The festival\u2019s own framing \u2014 \u201cfaire vibrer nos m\u00e9moires communes\u201d \u2014 gives it a strong emotional and intergenerational charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115912-1024x372.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115912-1024x372.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115912-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115912-768x279.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115912.jpg 1188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-festival-of-crossings\">A festival of crossings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The line-up is deliberately broad: concert, performance, encounter, exhibition, DJ set, workshop, market, buffet, debate, projection and dance. That is what makes the event feel more like a cultural commons than a simple programme; it invites people to move between forms and to encounter a story of the Maghreb and the Jewish diaspora that is plural rather than fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The names attached to the day reinforce that sense of breadth.&nbsp;<strong>Turkish Kebap<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Rokia Bamba<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Simone Bitton<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Cl\u00e9o Cohen<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Esther Benbassa<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>David Berliner<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Jihane Sfeir<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Hamza Esmili<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Paul Dahan<\/strong>&nbsp;are among the artists, thinkers and speakers taking part. In other words: this is not a token conversation about identity, but a full-day encounter between music, scholarship, memory and lived experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115808-1024x549.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115808-1024x549.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115808-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115808-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115808.jpg 1093w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Turkish Kebap<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-it-matters-now\">Why it matters now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brussels has been hosting more and more events that refuse to separate culture from politics, and Yallah Zouz! fits that shift perfectly. Its Judeo-Arab-Amazigh framing resists the flatness of \u201ccommunity\u201d as a buzzword and instead presents culture as something made of migration, overlap, conflict and affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That matters because public conversations about Arab, Jewish and Amazigh histories are often reduced to binaries. Yallah Zouz! proposes the opposite: a place where those histories can coexist, disagree, and still produce beauty, sound and collective energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115936-1024x362.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115936-1024x362.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115936-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115936-768x271.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Capture-decran-2026-05-05-115936.jpg 1192w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-warm-vibrant-day\">A warm, vibrant day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What also stands out is the atmosphere the organisers are promising: emotional, vibrant and warm. The programme includes food by chef\u00b7fes, a market of creators, a debate with ULB, a Moroccan weaving workshop, oriental dance and a circle of speech. That balance between learning and pleasure is exactly what makes the event feel generous rather than didactic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Ket, this is the kind of festival worth following closely: culturally rich, politically grounded and full of the kind of cross-genre energy that makes Brussels feel alive. It is also a reminder that community festivals can be both deeply specific and widely welcoming at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"useful-links\">Useful links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sharongeczynski.be\/yallah-zouz-un-festival-judeo-arabe-amazigh-pour-rouvrir-le-dialogue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Festival explainer by S<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tricoterie.net\/fr\/agenda\/l-agenda-culturel\/yallah-zouz-festival?id_evenement=7125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yallah Zouz! festival at La Tricoterie<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tricoterie.net\/fr\/agenda\/l-agenda-culturel\/yallah-zouz-festival?id_evenement=7125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruxellessurscenes.be\/fr\/Eventdetailpage.Yallah-Zouz-Festival.5700021827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bruxelles sur Sc\u00e8nes listing<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruxellessurscenes.be\/fr\/Eventdetailpage.Yallah-Zouz-Festival.5700021827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/158-rue-th%C3%A9odore-verhaegen-1060-brussels-belgium\/yallah-zouz-\/797774506451302\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yallah Zouz!
