Summer Exhibition A(R)MOUR by Mous Lamrabat at MAD Brussels

The exhibition A(R)MOUR by photographer Mous Lamrabat is an ode to love and gives a colourful look at the fragile or sometimes powerful protection clothing can offer us. What does a label say about your personality? What does a headwear like a Fez or a basketball cap mean? Some people's armour will be different from others', but both are always in place. And the truth may be somewhere in between.

A(R)MOUR: exhibition from June 9th until September 2nd

This layering of interpretations comes together in photographer Mous Lamrabat's colourful exhibition A(R)MOUR at MAD Brussels this summer.
