The Jetse Atelier 34zero Muzeum has once again chosen to feature explicit art, this time focusing on prominent Belgian politicians Theo Francken and Georges-Louis Bouchez. The museum, known for its willingness to tackle controversial themes, has installed two large banners in its garden that prominently display the two figures.

Georges-Louis Bouchez, leader of the MR party, is depicted against an American/Israeli background, while Theo Francken of the N-VA party is shown against a swastika. These provocative portrayals are part of a new exhibition by Brussels-based artist ENCQ.

This artistic choice follows previous controversies surrounding the museum's exhibitions. The decision to again feature explicit art, particularly involving well-known political figures, signals the museum's commitment to pushing boundaries and sparking public discourse through its curated works.
