Forum on European Culture

About the future of democracy in Europe

The 4th edition of this Forum focuses on the meaning and future of democracy in Europe. Since the aggressive and imperialistic war in Ukraine, it has become increasingly apparent that democracy is no longer an abstract self-evidence but a fragile construction under pressure. How does Europe deal with technological developments, its history of colonialism, imperialism and autocratic influences? And if Europe wants to be a democracy, what actions are needed?

De Balie brings together artists, activists and intellectuals to explore democracy as a cultural rather than a political expression.
