Tuesday Talks | Flanders Arts Institute

Belgium was placed under lockdown for months. These were crucial weeks for artists and the entire arts sector. Together with rekto: verso and State of the Arts, Flanders Arts Institute organized panel discussions every Tuesday night on Facebook.

Tuesday Talks made time for dialogue and reflection. We talked for one hour with four speakers, each from their living room. Live on Facebook, on the Kunstenpunt and SOTA page.

Some of those talks were in English. You can watch them below. Would you also like to see the other Tuesday Talks (in Dutch)? Click here.
