UCSIA - Manresa Room, Koningstraat 2, 2000 Antwerpen

It has been 90 years since the death of Lieven Gevaert. Gevaert was a Flemish industrialist and pioneer in photography, founder of the successful photography company Gevaert (later Agfa-Gevaert), and an advocate of Flemish economic and cultural emancipation. We commemorate his death with a panel discussion on the social role of the company as a source of solidarity and justice in the world of work.

UCSIA is organising this event together with AGFA Events and the local history society of Mortsel.

The panel discussion will be in Dutch.
