that\u2019s what x said<\/a> is a socio-politically engaged art space<\/a> and shop striving for systemic change based in the Marolles neighbourhood that organizes exhibitions and events. This art space is aimed at highlighting the Belgian queer art scene, as well as a selection of international artists sharing the values \u200b\u200bof the project. We met with R\u00e9becca Prosper and Elisa Huberty to discuss this new project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00e9becca, can you tell us a bit about the duo behind that\u2019s what x said ? How did you and Elisa meet and what is the genesis of the project ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElisa and I met in our last year of high school almost ten years ago. We immediately became friends and started dreaming about opening our own art gallery someday. We then parted ways, Elisa moved to the UK to study History of Art and then a Masters in Art Business, while I studied History of Art in Brussels and then The Art Market in Paris. We never lost touch, keeping the dream alive. Over the years we deconstructed a lot of our systemic biases and generally got more upset about everything going on in the world. Opening an art gallery for the sake of it just stopped making sense to us, we wanted to try and make a difference. We came up with the idea of opening a socio-politically engaged art space that would go beyond the art itself and attempt to educate and deconstruct people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
