Elsa Lévy is an artist, author and herbalist. Her work takes the form of texts, fanzines, herbal teas, fermentations, films, gleanings, black-and-white drawings, seed necklaces, bound notebooks and long lists. She writes about her plant friends and the people who grow and care for them. With her head in the clouds and her feet on the ground, her sensitive yet realistic approach weaves links between the heart, the head and the hands.

L'Autre ‘lieu’ - R.A.P.A. (Recherche-Action sur la Psychiatrie et les Alternatives) is a strange environment, inhabited by multiple existences. Founded in 1980, based on the values of the International Network for Alternatives to Psychiatry, the association functions as a place of passage, intrusion and circulation** where people interested in/concerned by the issue of mental disorders meet on a daily basis. Together, we're trying to do something along the lines of care - because care can be linked to a whole host of things that go by a completely different name than ‘care’ (in the sense of a cure), it's about creating, living with, supporting, resisting, accompanying, letting ourselves be supported... As a place of welcome and experimentation, the association develops various forms of housing, support and accompaniment in living environments; it carries out information and awareness-raising activities and, alongside its members, produces other types of knowledge, practices and content intended to be disseminated to the full.

Maison CFC is developing a project with two complementary aspects: publishing and the life of a bookshop. Its policy of publishing, distributing and promoting books and running the bookshop involves publishing works and organising events such as exhibitions, conferences, meetings, workshops, guided tours, concerts and performances. Its primary aim is to promote Brussels' heritage, creativity and artistic life, as well as French-language literature. CFC-Éditions was set up in Brussels in 1987 on the initiative of the French Commission for Culture (now the French Community Commission). The bookshop was inaugurated five years later. The Maison CFC is located on the ground floor of a neo-classical building on the historic and symbolic Place des Martyrs.
