‘Deep Roots in Turnhout’ is a project where art, heritage, nature, wonder and movement come together. The project is inspired by the paintings of Turnhout-based artist Nele Van der Linden.
The exhibition is linked to a walk through the town past remarkable trees, as well as to all sorts of creative activities.
The project runs from 16 October to 15 November 2026.
The paintings can be viewed at two venues.
At Café Ranonkel, there is the ‘Stamboom’ series, portraits of her family with ‘roots’ in Turnhout.
And in St Peter’s Church, there is the ‘Turnhout, City through the Trees’ series. Colourful cityscapes seen through the trees, balancing between the pictorial and the imaginary, which draw the viewer into a fairy-tale landscape.
In the church, TV screens display photographs (DFT vzw) of remarkable trees in the city.
