Le Bivouac • Monthly meeting • October Edition

Le Bivouac • Monthly meeting • October Edition by Collectif L'escalade Tuesday 20 October 2026 | 19:00 @ Etcetera bar (Etterbeek) 🍂📸 Pitch your camp with photographers, image-makers and visual storytellers for a cosy, lantern-lit evening in Brussels. The days are getting shorter, the light's turning golden and low, and there's a chill worth escaping. So come in from the cold and join the circle. Le Bivouac is our monthly gathering. A place to set down your bag, refill your cup, and warm up with a little inspiration, connection and community while the nights draw in. Did you really think we'd let the spooky season creep up without lighting the fire again? That's right: Le Bivouac is back. Same beloved no-strings-attached, come-as-you-are, no-need-to-explain-your-camera-settings (unless you really want to) get-together for photographers in Brussels and beyond. Now with extra autumn warmth and maybe a cobweb or two 🕸️ Besides meeting people who get excited about the same things you do and talking about whatever you fancy (no agendas, no ice-breakers, just good conversation round the proverbial campfire), you'll also get to: Show off whatever you've been shooting lately, from misty mornings and moody skies to the season's first golden leaves Swap stories from behind the lens, like the shots you chased in the fading light and the one that got away Discover what's brewing this season at the Collectif — we're officially launching membership, and the doors to our La Dégaine mentoring programme are now open for sign-ups Head home with a fresh spark of inspiration in your pack, ready for the darker, dreamier months ahead It doesn't matter if you shoot film or digital, if you're a seasoned pro, a freelance, or someone who simply loves the craft. Whether your camera roll is full of foggy forests or Brussels rooftops, if you pick up a camera, there's a spot for you at the fire. We can't wait to see you there. Bring your latest work, bring your autumn tales, bring a friend you've been meaning to introduce. Stay for one drink after work or settle in until the stars come out… 😊 Not part of the crew yet? This is the perfect night to join the circle, and now the perfect moment to become a member too. Say hello here. All are welcome. The event is free. You can pay for your drinks and food directly at the venue. So set your tent down with us this Tuesday, and let's warm up the new season together ✨
