Comic strips are everywhere in Brussels. From the Smurfs to Hergé, sometimes it is contested heritage.
Overview of your Brussels tour
An itinerary will be proposed so we can visit approximately 20 out of the 70 comic strip walls of Belgian/ Brussels or international artists in the city of Brussels. We will discuss why some of their work in the public sphere are hailed as art pieces while some are contested. The tour will include major sites in the Brussels historic center, but also in lesser known areas you can only access with a local. The comic strip walls refer also to the places where roamed and worked Brussels artists like Tintin's Hergé. The tour lasts around 2 hours and can be adjusted on request. Let's meet at a venue of your convenience. Good starts and or endings are the Brussels Central Station or the Grote Markt / Grand'Place.
