Mini Word Market
A booth with nothing to sell but with some unusual market vendors at the Vieux Marché aux Grains / Oude Graanmarkt! Come and listen to stories that emerged from the city’s writing workshops, and feel free to take the mic to tell your own story or poem.
Brussels is buzzing with stories! All over the city, people are putting pen to paper to share theirs – alone or in groups, in their spare time or in workshops. The festival invites them to present their texts in public, whether these texts emerged in the writing workshops for new arrivals at Cinemaximiliaan, in the workshops at De Markten or on their own kitchen table!
