Chega de Saudade
ROOFTOP FILM SCREENING
Chega de Saudade is a 2007 drama film directed by Brazilian filmmaker Laís Bodanzky. Shot in the vibrant and pulsating setting of a traditional São Paulo dance hall, the film vividly captures the essence of Brazilian culture and the complex emotions tied to love, longing, and aging.
The movie intertwines the lives of diverse characters, whose stories unfold over the course of one evening at a ballroom. Through a rich tapestry of dance sequences, intimate dialogues, and poignant moments, Chega de Saudade offers a deep reflection on the human experience—exploring themes of desire, memory, and the passage of time. The film’s title, which translates to “No More Longing,” echoes the bittersweet emotions of its characters, each grappling with their own personal histories and dreams.
Chega de Saudade stands out in Brazilian cinema for its innovative narrative structure and its profound exploration of the interplay between joy and melancholy in the dance of life. Join us for this emotionally compelling and beautifully crafted film, celebrated for its authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and the way it resonates with audiences across generations. Don’t miss this unforgettable cinematic experience that continues to inspire and move viewers around the world.
For this edition we move to Lokaal Talent, where we will screen the movie and continue the music experience with an afterparty with brazilian music inspired by the film.

Guerilla Walk + RE/SISTERS Exhibition Visit | RE/SISTERS @ MINO
Following the seed bomb workshop we’ll embark on an interactive guerilla walk through Antwerp to enrich our soils through collective seeding. Reclaiming public space and fostering new ecosystems throughout our city by planting our seed bombs in abandoned areas to bring new life to the city. Our walk will end at FOMU, where you can explore the RE/SISTERS exhibition one last time. This powerful exhibition delves into the deep connections between ecological and social struggles, emphasizing the role of women and communities in defending and healing our planet.
Seed Bomb Workshop | RE/SISTERS @ MINO
Start your Sunday with a creative workshop led by our garden coach, Lamiae. Learn how to make seed bombs—small balls of soil and seeds that you can plant in neglected urban spaces to help rejuvenate them with greenery. This workshop is perfect for those interested in contributing to a greener cityscape.
Potluck Picnic | RE/SISTERS @ MINO
Join us for a cosy potluck picnic on our garden rooftop. Enjoy an afternoon of connecting and sharing dishes made with fresh ingredients from our garden. Bring your favorite dish to share and experience the warmth of our MINO community.
Participative Performance w/ Ateljee Symbio | RE/SISTERS @ MINO
Working with sounds and frequencies of underground fungi networks and human choreographies Ateljee Symbio will perform their participative ritual to ground ourselves in our circle, our world in our MINO community garden. Working with frequencies as a certain constant connection to nature and the fungal networks.
With these performative actions, they invite us to reconnect with nature, with each other and to become aware of underground networks that form according to the energy they are surrounded by, just as we too are formed by the energy and vibrations around us. Energy goes, where energy flows. We invite you to be part of this performance.
Performance and concept by Ines Penxten, Lune Marchal, Nina Van Herck, Ploy Thongchamnan.
Screening of "Foragers" by Jumana Manna | RE/SISTERS @ MINO
We end the evening with a screening of “Foragers,” a film that captures the complexities and humor of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel. Filmed in the Golan Heights, the Galilee, and Jerusalem, the movie blends fiction, documentary, and archival footage to explore the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on traditional practices. These restrictions have led to fines and trials for many Palestinians caught collecting native plants like ’akkoub and za’atar. The film follows the journey of these plants from the wild to the kitchen, highlighting the resilience of these traditions in the face of restrictive laws and raising critical questions about the politics of preservation.
Garden Meditation w/ Natalia Al Mbaidin | RE/SISTERS @ MINO
Community mediation in the garden given by Natalia Al Mbaidin as introduction for ‘Foragers’ by Jumana Manna.
Focused on bringing our community together through an all senses meditation. To strengthen our solidarity and energies.

Screening Leila and the Wolves & Afterparty w/ Lokaal Talent
Leila and the Wolves
ROOFTOP FILM SCREENING
Leila and the Wolves (ليلى والذئاب) is a 1984 drama film from Lebanese director Heiny Srour and assistant director Sabah Jabbour. It was filmed in often treacherous areas and the filming lasted seven years.
A film that weaves together re-enactments, archive footage and fairy-tale sequences to create a testament to the history of Lebanese and Palestinian women to the political struggles of the twentieth century.
'Leila is emblematic of a generation who is struggling consciously to rhyme braininess with femininity. It was new in Arab cinema. Even in world cinema, so far, no attempt has been made to embrace 80 years of history from a female and feminist point of view. History is cyclical and often burdensome. ‘
Join us for this visually stunning and emotionally resonant film, celebrated for its rich symbolism, impactful and innovative narrative. Don't miss this unforgettable cinematic experience that continues to inspire filmmakers and audiences around the world.
This event is part of ECCE , a film program by Rosemary Antwerp & MINO. A curation of classics and short movies by upcoming filmmakers, screened in open air at our idyllic rooftop garden.

Oneday retreat - YOU ARE HER (YAH)
ONE DAY RETREAT - YOU ARE HER (YAH)
Oneday retreat - You are HER [YAH] is een nieuw welzijns concept gecreëerd door Natalia. Met een eerste editie op 20 augustus 2023. Deze retreat staat altijd in teken van 'vrouw zijn' m.b.v. lichaams - en lichaamsgericht werken.
Lichaamswerk uit zich vooral in beweging van het fysieke lichaam. Bij deze retreat betekent dat Yoga, dans en bio-energetisch werken. De beweging is zacht en gedoseerd zodat het echt gevoeld kan worden.
Bij lichaamsgericht werken hoeven we niet te bewegen maar het lichaam staat wel centraal, we gebruiken het lichaam als ingang om in contact te komen met de diepere lagen. Het lichaam wijst ons de weg en we vertrouwen op de wijsheid die het biedt. Om dat soms te kunnen verstaan is het belangrijk dat we een goed en compleet beeld van het lichaam hebben. Hiermee gaan we tijdens de retreat op verschillende manieren aan de slag; zodat jijzelf nog meer contact maakt met je ware kern. Dit uit zich in: mindfulness oefeningen, ademwerk, soundheling, heling door woorden, enz...
Deze retreat draait om verbinding, met jezelf en andere vrouwen. In een kleine intieme groep (max 12 deelnemers) drukken we samen even op de pauzeknop , een moment uit het hoofd en in het lichaam, om zo terug te leren luisteren naar onszelf. Daarnaast bundelde Natalia verschillende expertise samen en nodigde voor deze edititie 3 artiesten uit: Brenda, Sesa en Olivia die jou overdompelen in verschillende vormen van heling. Ieder op hun manier, vertrekkend vanuit zachtheid en omarmend van de vrouwelijke kracht! Zo reiken we jou bouwstenen aan die je kan gebruiken in je dagelijks leven. Daarnaast krijg je de kans om gewoonweg te genieten, ontspannen en je energie weer op te laden!
'Before you speak, your body speaks to you.'
Artiesten:
Natalia Al Mbaidin - Yoga teacher, lichaams - en lichaamsgerichtwerker
Sefora Sam a.k.a Sesa - Schrijfster en spoken-word artieste
Brenda Pattipeilohy - Creatieve bewustzijnwerker - en massagetherapeut
Olivia Fonseca: Yoga - mindfulness -integratie - voedings & gezondheidscoach
