MINDBLOWERS 2017
What could send a more powerful signal than kicking off the academic and cultural year together? That’s exactly what we’ll be doing with MINDBLOWERS. There will be no overblown speeches or pompous lectures here, but short, powerful and urgent interventions at the crossroads of art, culture and reflection. At the intersection of activism, ‘artivism’ and academism. The theme for this first MINDBLOWERS is resistance. A fine selection of thinkers and artists from both Belgium and abroad will be presenting their visions of resistance. What does that mean today? What has it meant and what can it mean in our future?
An afternoon will become an evening, and will wind up as a party. From 4 pm you can stroll in and out and begin a new academic year and theatre season feeling challenged, fresh and sharp.
