Religious organizations play an important role in the life of faith communities. This also applies to mosques that perform not only religious, but also socio-cultural functions for the various Muslim communities in Flanders and Brussels. Those different functions are reflected in the diverse heritage that reflects mosque life. That material and immaterial mosque heritage offers a lot of potential for cooperation, but it remains underexposed. With this three-year heritage project, KADOC KU Leuven, together with a broad network of local and national heritage players, wants to stimulate cooperation between the heritage sector and Islamic worship organisations, work with the versatile mosque heritage and develop activities for a wide audience. record and share the diversity and history of mosques and the associated heritage in Flanders and Brussels and present and stimulate research activities.
