Gouvernement is a nomadic platform grown out of the former multidisciplinary Ghent arts venue of the same name. It supports young and searching makers and focuses on long-term trajectories with room for cross-pollination and trial & error. By entering into broad and sustainable partnerships, development and presentation opportunities are set up for this purpose in diverse contexts.
Gouvernement makes all artistic decisions in close consultation with the artistic table. This is a group of profiles who have long been associated with Gouvernement in various ways. The table consists of Vivi Focquet, Marie Umuhoza, Simon Baetens, Lauren Borremans, Madonna Lenaert, Lieselot Siddiki and Nele Keukelier.

Gouvernement makes targeted investments in well-considered collaborative projects and valuable partnerships, as each project has its own needs.
Besides our long-term collaboration with Arts Centre VIERNULVIER, Opera Ballet Flanders, coreatelier, KAAP and GUM (Ghent University Museum), we collaborate on a project basis with Campo, STUK, het TheaterFestival, Toneelhuis, Africa is/in the future, coreatelier, De Koer & UGent. As part of the NWNM residency platform, we develop partnerships with various organisations from the cultural field.
