WONDER Creativity Festival
With WONDER Creativity Festival, Designregio Kortrijk, city of Kortrijk and partners paid tribute to the creativity and innovative ideas of young talent from 19 October to 5 November 2023. We were able to welcome 11,000 visitors!
WONDER challenged the limits of our imagination, and confidently looked ahead to the future. Therefore, the city festival gave a forum to inventive minds coming up with remarkable solutions to the societal challenges we face today and in the future.
WONDER 2023
The beating heart of WONDER was at the Budafabriek, where work and projects by designers from all over Belgium were presented via multiple exhibitions. The city centre of Kortrijk was the setting for the rest of the festival. At 28 locations, Belgian public and private partners there presented free exhibitions, lectures, workshops or events that celebrated imagination and creativity through a range of disciplines in the broadest sense.
As a counterweight to daily doom scenarios, WONDER brought a positive, approachable story with youthful optimism as its driving force. Together with designers, artists, entrepreneurs and students, the festival aimed to be an impactful platform for innovative, sustainable, digital and social ideas, projects and products. WONDER encouraged reflection and open-mindedness, and enthused visitors to shape the future boldly and colourfully together.
