The three lines for Ghent2030

Three artistic lines provide inspiration for developing a programme for Ghent2030.

Wasteland as a Wellspring

Untapped land as a metaphor for physical and mental space, for stillness, room for learning, growth, and creativity without too many rules.

Water as a Weaver

Water as a metaphor for (surprising) connections between people, communities and regions.

Margin as a Measure

The margin as a metaphor for playing with boundaries, both spatial and mental, for inverting relationships between centre and periphery and amplifying unheard and lesser-known voices.
