Ilke Gers in Building Castles in the Sky
various locations in Ghent, Belgium
05 April —
21 April 2024
What would your neighbourhood look like if it were up to you? What would you want to add to your neighbourhood? What would it take to make an existing place your own? With Building Castles in the Sky, Gouvernement, together with a group of makers, is transforming the spatial desires of a young generation of inhabitants of Ghent into unique creations in the city.
From a rich source of youthful imagination, a number of artists translate both the most common and the most unique ideas. How do you make an endless scarf that keeps the whole street warm? Where in the city do you recreate your favourite video game life-size? And what if the city was an amusement park? As architects and master builders, young people guide the artists in this process.
Building on her work Street Games, Aotearoa artist Ilke Gers has devised an interactive game for visitors to participate in.

Yuki Kihara, Art Basel Conversation
Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hong Kong
12.30PM — 1.30PM
30 March 2024
Taking place as part of the Art Basel Hong Kong 2024 Conversations programme, Social Fabrics: Weaving as Art Form is a panel discussion that looks at the art of weaving as a tradition of social cohesion: a creative act that produces textiles that are worn, used, or displayed in public and private spaces to signal identities, tell stories, express traditions, and build relationships. It puts forwards the premise of the craft’s transmission as a negotiation of identity, community and history: a unique process that artists will discuss in relation to their own practices.
Social Fabrics: Weaving as Art Form includes artists Qualeasha Wood, Yee I-Lann and Yuki Kihara and is moderated by Mizuki Takahashi, Executive Director and Chief Curator, Centre for Heritage, Arts & Textile (CHAT).
