Jan Goossens is currently co-artistic director of Dream City and l’Art Rue in Tunis, and mandate holder for Brussels 2030 – Cultural Capital of Europe. He was artistic director of KVS, the Royal Flemish Theater in Brussels from 2001 to 2016, and general director of the Festival de Marseille from 2016 to 2022. Out of KVS and with a wide range of local and regional partners, he also co-organized six editions of ‘Connexion Kin’, an arts festival in Kinshasa, Congo. With Dream City and Selma and Sofiane Ouissi, Jan Goossens has so far co-programmed four editions of Dream City (2015, 2017, 2019, 2022), all focused on creating contextual works of art in the Medina of Tunis, but resonating with a much larger socio-political environment.
