IT'S A MATCH 2021
Cross-border cultural and artistic cooperation
During NEXT festival, IT'S A MATCH brings together cultural professionals, programmers and artists across borders.
With the support of the Cultural Cooperation Agreement between Flanders and the Région Hauts-de-France, NEXT annually focuses on artistic and cultural projects emerging from cross-border dynamics. We get to know good practices, make new connections and unlock the exciting landscape of young creators from both regions.

100 programme-makers, professionals and artists gathered for a 'TINDER ARTISTIQUE' and a RONDETABLESHIP on the sense and nonsense of cultural and artistic cooperation between Flanders and France.
