Biennial of Thought

The city will be the main space for reflection. The programme will address issues such as solidarity in the face of neoliberalism, the defence of democracy against the rise of authoritarianism, and practices that can improve both the material and symbolic conditions of urban life.

For six days, squares and other spaces in Barcelona will serve as places for conversation and collective thought. Among the participants are philosopher Fina Birulés, writer Mariana Enríquez, filmmaker José Luis Guerín, playwright Angélica Liddell, poet and philosopher Chantal Maillard, anti-racist thinker Lilian Thuram, and journalist Eileen Truax.

The Bienal thus champions plural dialogue and critical thinking as tools to engage with the present, rather than waiting for answers to arrive tomorrow.
