LETTRES D'AMOU DES MAROLLES

by RITCs students

open studio

"Lettres D'amour des Marolles" is a project initiated by art students in Brussels, inspired by a box of love letters exchanged between Marianne and Alain, discovered at the Vossenplein / Place du Jeu de Balle. This iconic square, a treasure trove of memories, holds countless histoires d'amour that have been lost over time.

With this project, we invite people to revive the tradition of love letters: writing to people, places, or things they have loved or still love. It's an ode to the love letter itself, a timeless form of intimate expression. Ultimately, this initiative will grow into an archive of micro-histories, weaving together personal narratives of love through conversation and writing (in different languages).

In an age where digital communication dominates, Lettres d'Amour des Marolles reconnects us with the authenticity and beauty of handwritten words. Yet, it also embraces technology by exploring how love letters can find a place in the digital worlds - through virtual archives.
