Our Story

Brokar — the name of a woven fabric

Just as brocade weaves silk, gold and silver into a single magnificent whole, Brokar Cultural Centre brings together the diverse voices of Antwerp. Every person is a thread; together we form a rich fabric of stories, traditions and dreams.

Located in the heart of Antwerp, we offer a warm home for everyone: young and old, artist and visitor, local and stranger.
