On 11 August writer-in-residence Neske Beks and dramaturge Selm Wenselaers will talk about family and their respective passion for language and how it shapes the world.
Unfortunately, due to the cancellation of Neske Beks' residency due to the COVID-19 crisis, this event cannot take place.
Welcome to our house!
After a spring spent withdrawn from the world, we invite you this summer to look at the world beyond the four walls that surround you. Throughout the summer, you can go backstage at Passa Porta and enjoy a drink while engaging in frank conversations about literature and the world of today. Every Tuesday, towards the end of the day, we will invite one or two authors to talk about and read from their work in a casual setting. Poets, slammers, novelists and non-fiction authors, established names and emerging talents in the Belgian literary landscape and beyond will take the floor to question contemporary society, always through the lens of literature.

Storytelling is always the core.’ During her residency, Neske will work on her upcoming novel, Omdat we ook zijn wat we hebben verloren, a memoir about her youth as a black girl in a white foster family.
