giftshop is

a cultural space in the heart of Ghent that invites tourists to become co-creators of the city.

We strive for a genuine exchange between residents and visitors, tackling the challenges of tourism head-on. With artists, locals, and partners, we test how travel can become regenerative — not just by minimizing harm, but by actively building our community.

To move forward, we must find solutions together. Let’s start with three questions: What do we eat? Where do we sleep? What do we take with us, and what do we leave behind?

Giftshop is open from April to October.
