NICC presents for its silver jubilee 'NICC x 25', a multilayered event that will take place in Hall 1 of S.M.A.K. from December 7 to 28. The event marks a milestone for the artist-run organisation, which has been dedicated to individual artists since 1998.

'NICC x 25' reflects a moment in time, where archive and aspiration come together. Expect a varied programme of performances, screenings, debates, an exhibition and the presentation of a new publication.

The exhibition - and accompanying public programme of lectures and performance - has been curated by Younes Baba-Ali, Céline Mathieu and Kasper De Vos based on submissions from the open call. Participating artists are Timo Bonneure & Nienke Baeckelandt, Guillaume Bijl, neighbours, Cel Crabeels, Katinka de Jonge, Ayrton Eblé, Sacha Eckes, Romane Iskaria, William Ludwig Lutgens, Michal Luft, Léa Mayer, Monali Meher, Lieven Segers, T.I.C., Leendert Van Accoleyen, Thé van Bergen, Pieter Van den Bosch, Kristof Van Gestel, Various Artists, Zeger Vetters.
