Political. Artistic. Festive. Subversive. Every year, the Festival des Libertés mobilises all forms of expression to resist, to witness, to gather.
In a polarised world, how do we re-attach to dialogue and nuance? How do we build a space that encourages inclusivity and otherness? In 2025, Bruxelles Laïque will rely on the theme of dialogue, in the face of political and democratic tensions. Le Festival des Libertés offers ten days to reconsider the democratic discussion together, to overcome simplistic breaches in public debate, to encourage free examination, and fight against disinformation.
Social progress cannot be reduced to the simple and necessary power relationship, and understanding the world means having a dialogue anchored in the confrontation of ideas and the ethics of debate. How can we work to bring about an authentic, shared, public culture?

He was the idol of an entire generation, a role model. His style, nonchalance, music, and voice have transcended time.
This is a metamorphosis. Gringe, eternally tethered to the present and one half of the Casseurs Flowters, defies every expectation with mathematical coherence.
La Femme returns to her first love, the new wave of Psycho Tropical Berlin, blending it with Anglo-American rock sounds from the 1980s and 90s.
