OASIS.bxl will be hosting two parallel exhibitions: one by Japanese artist Yuko Nakaya initiated by Arielle d’Hauterives Gallery and another in collaboration with Brussels Design Week 2026.
To bring both together in a celebration, a sensory dinner will take place on 26 September. Chef, hunter-gatherer, mushroom enthusiast, pepper connoisseur, and anarchist fermenter Dopamine Core (Jules Lavergne), alongside floral scenographer Ellea Cartier, will create an immersive ambience and culinary experience rooted in local traditions, with Japanese accents in dialogue with the existing artistic installations. With Jules’ culinary expertise and against the backdrop of both exhibitions merging together, the dinner shifts into a liminality deriving from the Japanese concept of Ma (lit. 'gap, space, pause'), where each participant becomes an artist, taking part in the creation of that space while embracing the idea of being present.
