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?
