ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS triennial possible… Thank you! Beaufort 21 Art Triennial by the Sea

Beaufort is a unique art project in the natural biotope of the coastal landscape. During this seventh edition, which runs from 27 May to 7 November 2021, you will find 20 works of art in the 10 coastal towns. The programme is completed with performances by Ari Benjamin Meyers with Die Verdammte Spielerei, Saâdane Afif and Nel Aerts with Gert Verhoeven. During Beaufort 21, the public space is extended to the bottom of the sea. Lost islands, sunken shipwrecks and fossils tell a more multi-faceted story that supplements the familiar history. The artists allow voices - whether or not human - to speak that earlier were suppressed. These are voices that don´t scream, but whisper, about the collective memory of our Coast. Because, like people, places too possess a memory...
