Nature Theater of Oklahoma talks with Barbara Raes, artistic director of Vooruit in Ghent. Vooruit, originally the festival center of the Ghent labor movement, and a symbol of the socialist movement, is today a busy arts center and hub of cultural innovation. The name “vooruit” translates in English to “forward, ” but are we capable curators of our own idealism? Why does today’s passion for radical change always seem to become tomorrow’s collective burnout? Should we strategize more and hope less? Is there such a thing as sustainable revolution? (This podcast was recorded as part of the Possible Futures Festival for Vooruit in Ghent.)
