The ABC of Subbacultcha: A collective encyclopedia of 2021-2022

The Subbacultcha community sharing the stories behind their most treasured images of last year.

The still Air before a storm.

The Best day of your life.

Your Cat curled up on your chest, rising and falling with each breath.

Dancing alone in your room in the middle of the night.

Your favourite person’s Eyes.

The First warm day after a long winter.

A time long Gone, to which you can never return.

…

How do you define the everyday, the extraordinary, and everything in between?

The open call is running from 14 March until 10 April midnight.

In collaboration with S.M.A.K. & zwartopwit

Subbacultcha has always been my source for discovering young artists and collectives who bring alternative culture in Belgium to life and one of the first media to give us visibility.

Tom Brus - founder & artistic director C12 & Deep in House

Subbacultcha allows us to make great encounters by having access to varied cultural events all over Belgium, which enriches us in art and/or music.

Lauren Lizinde - volunteer and member

For 99€ per year, some would say Netflix & Chill, I would recommend Subba & Discover.

Sacha Vernaeve - photographer and member

I was able to have access to different visions, a world of experimental artistic exchanges, between members but also between artists.

Jennifer Izere - volunteer and member

Subbacultcha always had my back. They gave me so many opportunities to perform and express myself.

David Numwami - artist

Subbacultcha is a platform where emerging artists and true fans connect, a place where left field talent is exposed and young people are inspired.

We make it possible to discover new artists, as well as provide up and coming talent with a larger fanbase at the start of their career. We believe we can make a difference. By setting up shows, publishing content, providing an interested audience or giving advice, we help emerging artists move forward.

That is our passion.
