Context: The megalithic landscape of Wéris is scenario of seasonal ceremonies conducted by different groups belonging to Belgium’s main cultural groups: Flemish and Walloons. The site’s reconversion into a material support for contemporary ritual practices was a phenomenon that catalysed a sense of ownership among these groups.
