Artistic research on the history of socialism in Ghent from within the Feestlokaal of Vooruit. In this body of work we interviewed dozens of experts, visitors, employees and past residents. We dived into the archives, finding out about it’s history, motivation and operations. But also it’s early feminists and colonial traces. These narratives are translated in a partly fictionalized audio walk through the building of Vooruit.
