Created in collaboration with Lennert Janssens.

Tune in Radio Poort is a project about, by and for the Brugse Poort, a neighbourhood is Gent, Belgium.

Whilst strong communities exist, they rarely interact. We instigated this project as a means to research the notion of community, investigating how people live collectively and what it means to share space in a neighbourhood.

Using only locally sourced and waste materials from the Brugse Poort, we hosted a construction workshop at De Koer in April 2023, where we built a mobile radio station together with people from the neighbourhood.

Since then, we have been touring the radio station around the area, collecting content for the radio shows in the form of audio workshops, conversations and performances before hosting listening events and broadcasts for the neighbourhood to listen back.
