The Black Brilliance Ball

On Saturday, 9 August 2025, MoMu will be the stage for The Black Brilliance Ball – Legacy & Style Unleashed, a collaboration with Luscious Revlon and King of Paris, Legendary Father Vinii Revlon. This ball celebrates the power, creativity, and self-expression of Black ballroom culture, where fashion, performance, and identity come together.

Ballroom originated within the Black and Latinx LGBTQIA+ communities in the U.S. as a form of resistance and artistic freedom. It has since grown into a global network, with a strong scene in Europe.

During the ball, performers will take over the runway in a variety of categories, with personal style and attitude taking center stage. MoMu welcomes the European ballroom community to the heart of Antwerp during Antwerp Pride, a place where fashion and identity intersect.

On the eve of Antwerp Pride, Friday, 8 August, DE SINGEL welcomes the ballroom scene with a series of workshops, a panel talk and a community dinner.

Vinii Revlon is a French ballroom artist, community builder, and a key figure in the European scene. As the Legendary Father of the House of Revlon and King of Paris, he is committed to preserving and strengthening ballroom heritage in Europe.

Vogue Bootcamp Belgium is a platform that has been active since 2017 around Wacking and Voguing. Through workshops and balls, it creates space for expression, community, and growth within ballroom culture.
