A Donkey’s Tale written and edited by Maximilien Binard, is book that tells the story of a (once) legendary artistic place in Brugge, Belgium. The book is a homage to the Donkeys art collective and the influence they had on the creative scene in Brugge. They occupied an abandoned military site between 2011 and 2017, in the center of the city. It was an act of resistance but also a signal to let the city know there was not enough structural place for young artists. “Donkeys” will remain a term inside the artistic and alternative scene of Brugge.
In 2024 A Donkey’s Tale became a fact, a physical artifact that is here to stay.
