The Writers Parliament

  • Others
With Sophie Vandeveugle, Jeroen Olyslaegers, Ish Ait Hamou and Vinciane Despret

Last autumn, the first edition of The Writers Parliament took place in the Senate. Flemish and French-speaking writers reflected together on the world and the part they play as writers. Just after the elections, we are now organising, as a season finale, a kind of best of’ edition under our own roof.
In the majestic Henry Le Boeuf Hall, a handful of writers and thinkers will engage in conversation. Some were there this autumn, others will join. Above the political turmoil, they will make you think about worlds, whether imaginary or not. In times of polarisation, they seek nuance; fake news gives way to critical thinking. Expect an evening full of poetry and imagination, beauty and comfort.
