What would your neighbourhood look like if it were up to you? What would you want to add to your neighbourhood? What would it take to make an existing place your own? With Building Castles in the Sky, Gouvernement, together with a group of makers, is transforming the spatial desires of a young generation of inhabitants of Ghent into unique creations in the city.
From a rich source of youthful imagination, a number of artists translate both the most common and the most unique ideas. How do you make an endless scarf that keeps the whole street warm? Where in the city do you recreate your favourite video game life-size? And what if the city was an amusement park? As architects and master builders, young people guide the artists in this process.
All works will be combined in a walking route in the northern part of Ghent with CAMPO BOMA as the central meeting place. When you buy a ticket, you will receive an itinerary and a magazine with the secrets of each artwork, detailed information about the locations and times of performances. Your ticket is valid for a full weekend. Complete the trail in stages, at your own pace, alone or in good company.
