Photographer the at the La Boum protest party
Remember Covid times? When the young in Brussels partied to celebrate freedom?
La Boum was a lively celebration of youth and joy, capturing the spirit of carefree fun and social interaction. This event, which started in Belgium, features upbeat music, energetic dancing, and colorful outfits, creating an exciting atmosphere.
People of all ages come together in the Terkameren forrest to enjoy a shared experience called La Boum started by an artist duo. It was also to protest the severe restrictions in liberty the Belgian government had put over the people of Belgium.
The party ended up in a true battlefield with drones and police on horses chasing the party people home. Sander tried to capture the entire story, in a surreal documentary photography style.
His pictures ended up at his agency and… were never used.
