Talks & Debates

Bozar brings a number of exceptional voices from the 21st century to its Talks & Debates 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.

For the '25-'26 season, Bozar invites you on a journey where language moves and movement speaks—a dialogue between word and gesture that runs through our programme. Transdisciplinary encounters bring fresh insight into the resonance between image and idea, as when poet Dirk van Bastelaere pays tribute to conceptual artist John Baldessari in a moving homage. Elsewhere, powerful conversations bring together engaged voices such as Alain Damasio, Baptiste Morizot, and Vinciane Despret but also Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie or Anne Carson, among others —moments where disciplines cross paths and our horizons expand.
