pit - starting moment

pit: a Z-OUT project of Z33.

As from the beginning of June, pit will bring art in the public space of the region Haspengouw. It is the first project of Z-OUT, the ambitious initiative of Z33.  The artworks will make visitors look at the environment in a different way.  The landscape contains a lot of different stories that are not always immediately visible.  The artworks will be placed nearby existing walking and cycling routes in the region Borgloon-Heers. pit is an organic project that continues on growing month after month.
