The Iron Curtain is no more, the Berlin wall has fallen, Europe’s internal borders have been lifted for the better. But borders are back. Or to tell the truth, they were never really gone. Far from being simply geographical realities, borders are liminal spaces between cultures, identities and epochs, constantly witnessing human flows. Both enticing and frightening at once, people continue migrating because or in spite of them.
At a time when borders and migration couldn’t be more contested issues, we bring together three exceptional voices to reflect on the essence of borders and the future of migration. Award-winning writer Kapka Kassabova, correspondent & documentarist Bram Vermeulen, and historian & curator Bram Beelaert are all remarkable listeners to the many stories of migrants, refugees, escapees, returnees and even smugglers and xenophobes. Looking back and forward, they will engage in a gripping discussion on the powerful realities of our times that ultimately speak of the human condition.
