The festival "Sorry, not sorry" always takes place in a different neighbourhood
outside the city centre. This time around it takes place in the Ghent
neighbourhood Moscou-Vogelhoek-Flora. At the heart of the festival, you can find
the industrial site of the former weaving and spinning mill De Porre.
Street art in the broadest sense of the word is at the centre of the festival.
As always, the focus is on creative ‘underground’ and ‘out of the box’ art. The
festival puts young artists and organisations in the spotlight and breaks down
the walls between mainstream artists and street artists.
The programme offers a rich variety of visual arts, workshops, info sessions and
educational initiatives.
