Zaventem Ateliers is happy to announce the second edition of Import/Export as of June 5 2021 by inviting French designer Fabien Cappello to fill the Grand
Hall with his “Objetos de Resistencia”. The exhibition which will be open to the public focuses on archiving everyday Mexican objects that are made in local
workshops, “pequeños talleres” and typically sold in popular markets around Mexico.

This exhibition has a dual purpose : to introduce the public to Mexican everyday objects and to present a collection that reflects a particular economy that is at odds with the global neoliberal market. Indeed, these objects do not seek to create necessities but rather to provide specific solutions to existing, specific, common and cultural needs. They resist the imposition of a homogenous, globalised world where we no longer know how, where, and by whom what we buy is made.
