At the heart of the festival, you can find the industrial site of the former weaving and spinning mill De Porre.

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.
