For 20 years now, the City of Liège has been launching an annual call for projects regarding intercultural themes and the fight against intolerance, on behalf of associations working in the field of intercultural relations in our city.

For I live here, twenty students of journalism from IHECS immersed themselves in the lives of immigrants in Liège, as part of a photo journalism workshop. 

For more than 800 years, Liège was the capital of an independent principality that was headed by a prince-bishop. All states have significant texts. The former principality of Liège was no exception to this rule. Presented by some historians as the "constitution" of this principality, the Peace of Fexhe played a determining role in the history of Liège, as it attempted to define the limits of the powers of the prince-bishop, especially as they related to matters of justice, and those of his subjects.

In 1517, Martin Luther spoke out against the doctrine of indulgences promoted by Rome in his 95 theses. Five hundred years later, the city of Liège – in collaboration with the Network of Libraries and Artistic Collections of the University of Liège and the Luther, Liège 2017 not-for-profit association – presents this exhibition, which is based on a key piece: the Palatine Bible, Luther's German translation of the Bible. Other pieces complement the presentation, helping to explain Lutheranism, its challenges, dissemination and reception, etc.

Covering almost half a century of cartoons, "Black Drawings of Communism" highlights the caricatures that were published in the Belgian communist press. Occasionally cutting, they mock the Church, the United States, militarism, the law and even employers. This is an opportunity to discover the political history of Belgium during the twentieth century from another angle.
