Hangar organises PhotoBrussels Festival, an event dedicated to photography that aims to radiate in the city. The 5th edition of PhotoBrussels Festival (PBF05) commemorates the year 2020: 419 artists in Europe responded to the “Call for European Photographers” launched during the lockdown (March-June 2020). Through twenty-seven different photographic and/or video sensibilities, Hangar reveals the seeds of human creative resilience. Each artist presents their vision of the “inner world”, thus shattering the confinement's peculiar atmosphere. Creativity, humour, empathy, reflection, love, inspiration from nature are all principles that promise a quick recovery and a better “after”. The “Leica Coup de coeur” has been announced at the opening of PhotoBrussels Festival 05, on January 21th 2021, and has been granted a Leica Q2. The winner is Frédéric Stucin.
