Did the name Chais’Art Pressé catch your attention? Here at the corner of Avenue Bourgmestre Jean Herinckx and Avenue de la Ferme Rose, this sculpture stands as a powerful symbol. Chais’Art Pressé, unveiled in Ukkel on April 6, 2023, blends the French words for “wheelchair” and “art”. It’s a piece designed to make disability more visible and promote inclusion. The Chais’Art Pressé sculpture depicts the international symbol of accessibility. It represents the struggles people with disabilities face while adapting to society. Yet, it also embodies hope for a more accessible and inclusive future. This sculpture is the fifth in the Chais’Art series by the non-profit organization Autonomia. Other sculptures in this series can be found in locations like Fontainaspark in Brussels and near the Sportcity sports complex in Sint-Pieters-Woluwe. Chais’Art Pressé is more than just a static form. It’s a dynamic expression of the ongoing journey toward a society where everyone belongs. The sculpture captures the paradox of a person running alongside their wheelchair wheel. This image highlights the small differences between people with and without disabilities. The Chais’Art Pressé sculpture serves as a constant reminder of the importance of inclusion and accessibility in our community. It encourages us to strive for a world where everyone can participate fully.
