This “Biennale on art and textile” brings together Belgian and international artists, presenting their works against the background of impressive samples of industrial archeology. Métissages is a successful exhibition that explores the boundaries between handicraft and art.
[...] Nevertheless the top work of this exhibition is the nomad tent by bartaku and sofiesaufage: a space in which multicoloured, knotted and entangled ropes are hanging down, while Peruvian sounds instantly transport the visitor to another world.”
Veerle Windels, in De Standaard 06/04/2005, p.24.

Esta "Bienal sobre arte y textiles" reúne a diversos artistas belgas e internacionales, y sus obras se presentan en el impresionante marco del museo que contiene algunas muestras de arqueología industrial. "Metissages" es una exhibición de gran éxito que explora los límites entre el arte y la artesanía. (...) No obstante, la mejor obra de esta exhibición es la carpa nómada de bartaku y sofiesaufage (Recuerdas): un espacio en el que cuelgan cuerdas multicolores, con nudos, enredadas, mientras que sonidos peruanos transportan al visitante, instantáneamente, a "otro mundo".

"Deze ,,Biënnale rond kunst en textiel'' brengt Belgische kunstenaars samen met internationale, en toont hun werken tegen een achtergrond van indrukwekkende staaltjes industriële archeologie. Mé-tissages is een geslaagde tentoonstelling over grenzen aftasten tussen metier en kunst.
Het topwerk van deze expo is echter de nomadentent van Bartaku & Sofiesaufage, waarin striemen van veelkleurige touwen hangen, geknoopt en verstrengeld, in een ruimte waarin Peruviaanse geluiden ons meteen naar een andere wereld brengen."
