JR - Inside Out Project

The Inside Out project by world-renowned artist JR—a friend of the curator—is coming to Ostend. The platform gives communities worldwide the space to express their values. Together, they create a public artwork. More than 586,500 people in 154 countries have already participated, using large black-and-white portraits. In Ostend, too, people can have their portrait taken on April 3rd and 4th. Their photo will become part of a collective artwork in the city. With this open call, The Crystal Ship invites everyone not only to come and see, but also to experience. Help give a face to the city and The Crystal Ship 2026.
