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.
