Building Castles in the Sky (GIF)
Gouvernement i.s.m. CAMPO, VIERNULVIER, Kunsthal Gent, NTGent, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, KOPERGIETERY & S.M.A.K.
What would your environment look like if it were up to you? What would you build in your neighborhood? What would it take to call a space your own? With Building Castles in the Sky, Gouvernement collaborates with a group of artists to transform the urban desires of children in Ghent into unique creations. They ask this young generation of Ghent citizens how they would design their own neighbourhood and develop their fantasies into exceptional works of art. You can admire these unique translations of youthful imagination while walking in the city.
To start the walk, drop by with your ticket at CAMPO boma (Bomastraat 35, 9000 Ghent) during the opening hours of Building Castles in the Sky. There you will receive both your magazine and your itinerary. A ticket is valid for the whole weekend.
