Portraits of Abolition - Christophe Meireis
Menuhin Space of the European Parliament
17 portraits of those who are doing the abolition. Former death row inmates, families, politicians... They discover each other, they whisper from the depths of their beings these words that pass through them.

Bubbles for abolition
Gates of the Brussels Park, facing the Royal Palace
The citizens who must know that nothing is ever taken for granted. Debate over the restoration of the death penalty is likely to reappear in the event of the slightest tension. Young people, those who will make tomorrow‘s policies, have not necessarily experienced the horrors of the death penalty themselves.
Educational, sensitive and accessible to all, the exhibition «Comics for Abolition» presents a global selection of comic strips by famous illustrators whose stories, each in their own unique way, echo the main abolitionist arguments. Enter the world of each artist, access their vision and discover the abolitionist cause.
