Writers & Thinkers ’24-’25

Talks & Debates

Bozar brings a number of exceptional voices from the 21st century to its Writers & Thinkers stage. A richly filled series of talks and debates that take you into in-depth discussions on the cutting edge of art and society. The most important writers and thinkers of tomorrow elaborate on the big themes of today. From democracy to diversity to beauty and consolation.

There are texts that break boundaries, others that span time, and fictions that become real struggles. In January, Bozar begins a new series of encounters in which imagination, literature, and social reflection intertwine, challenging our perception of the world. Leïla Slimani questions her identity and Moroccan traditions, Olga Tokarczuk offers a feminist and meditative response to Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, while Lilian Thuram, Rokhaya Diallo and Kyémis place their fight for equality at the heart of a necessary dialogue. Let their voices rattle your certainties and inspire you.  

And last but not least, there will be encounters with the architects, musicians and artists who are exhibiting or performing at Bozar.
