The publishing house of the CIVA  (Centre International pour la Ville et l'Architecture et le Paysage) specialises in architecture – Belgian and international –in urban and rural settings. It offers – on its own or as part of a co-publication, in one or several languages – beautiful books dedicated to contemporary and emerging architecture but also the great figures of the 20th century, as well as exhibition catalogues. CIVA Editions are also developing several collections, one of which, ‘Ville et architecture’, highlights the architectural heritage of cities such as Riga, Lviv, Krakow, Brussels and its engineering heritage, and more recently, Kinshasa. The CIVA also wants to reflect the variety of contemporary practices within the field of architecture in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (the Jeunes Architectures collection).

Founded in 1984 by the Belgian dancer and choreographer Patricia Kuypers, Contredanse has aimed, from its beginning, to support creations of choreography. It wants to offer tools and resources to choreographers and dancers, to allow them to link their work in the studio to an analysis of thoughts regarding movement, the body, the composition, history and their discipline.
Its activities are principally orientated towards information and documentation, in publishing as well as training. Contresdanse is also developing partners by associating itself with projects such as round tables, conferences, workshops of reflection relating to dance…
Its publishing activity is double: on one half, the annual production of a publication (a book, CD or DVD) on a theme linked to dance or the work of an artist; on the other half a quarterly journal of news, specifically news regarding dance, distributed freely.

La Fonderie is a non-profit organization created in 1983 by a group of committed residents and historians. It occupies the site of the former art foundry "La Compagnie des Bronzes". Our objectives are to preserve and make known the industrial memory of Brussels and that, more general, of work in all its forms.
La Fonderie is also a publishing house. We publish heritage, scientific and cultural works.
The original approach of the "Cahiers de La Fonderie" is to highlight the man, his work and his daily life. The articles in this historical review evoke the economic and industrial life of Brussels, the social and industrial heritage but also the history of the inhabitants of Brussels. We question the present and the future of the Brussels Region and its inhabitants from a historical analysis.

Founded in 1985, Editions du Cerisier were born out of the Théâtre des Rues in order to leave a trace: theatrical texts are doomed to be forgotten when their shows have finished, if they are not kept alive in written text. The first two publications of the Editions du Cerisier are therefore devoted to the texts of the shows of the Théâtre des Rues.
Editions du Cerisier were therefore born, and the spirit which haunts it can only draw close to that of theatre-action. The most important desire is to publish proletarian literature. For this term is not in an outdated coma. It is no longer about quarrels on the probable or improbable proletarian purity or impurity of the author.
Editions du Cerisier, therefore, publish, by privilege and preference, novels, short stories, theatre, and essays which, clearly and without embellishment, deal with contemporary society.

Le Frémok is an association founded in June 2002 by fusion of two publishing houses of alternative comics, Fréon (Belgique) and Amok (France). Their founders, all comic book authors themselves, share the same passion which drives them to confront the reconstruction of the ninth art.
Le Frémok has become, therefore, a platform which allows authors and volunteers to carry out the most extreme experiments in the field of graphic literature, breaking down the barriers between genres, mixing poetry and politics, world outlooks and visual art narratives, art outsider and philosophical mass, young people’s literature and comic books, contemporary art and demonic series.
Le Frémok still believes in the book, and explores and rejects the specifics of the methods of printing, to make books which blow apart the preconceived norms of production in the genre.
