This year, City2 is proud to announce an exceptional collaboration with the Bright Brussels Festival, the light festival that transforms the capital into a true artistic trail every winter.

From 12 to 15 February 2026, Martyrs’ Square will host PERPETUUM, an international video artwork that shines a light on our shopping community. And… you can be part of it!

An international artwork celebrating human movement

Since 2019, choreographer Katja Heitmann has been creating works that celebrate the diversity of humanity and the uniqueness of each individual. For PERPETUUM, presented at Martyrs’ Square, a series of video portraits will be projected as short sequences highlighting body movement. Each participant shares a personal gesture, a unique way of moving, which becomes part of this large international artistic archive.

For this edition, City2 wanted to celebrate what makes it strong: its community. Shopkeepers, customers, visitors, neighbours… all those who bring the centre to life every day.

Why is City2 getting involved?

Because we believe that culture should be alive, participatory and close to people. Because our shopkeepers, our customers and our teams deserve to be in the spotlight. And because Brussels shines even brighter when it reflects the diversity and energy of those who make it vibrate!

We look forward to seeing you from 12 to 15 February at Martyrs’ Square to discover this exceptional artwork. ✨
