Sudan is experiencing one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world. War, violence, and mass displacement have plunged the country into deep misery. From Ghent, we are organizing a benefit concert, with all proceeds going to the Red Cross, which provides life-saving aid on the ground.

On December 12, Ahmed Aboutaleb, former mayor of Rotterdam, will come to Ghent for a special evening of conversation. His recently published memoir Home will serve as the starting point, but the discussion will go further.

At De Centrale, we’d love to hear what you think about our program. Which concerts, performances, or activities appeal to you the most? And what do you feel is missing?
