What are the principles of shared truths in a world of change? And how do we engage in conversation about it? Brave New Voices opens the space for prominent speakers from art, science, and politics. Post-growth and loneliness, algorithms and droughts, war and poetry – in the poetic refuge of the Bochum Century Hall, the award-winning playwright Sivan Ben Yishai meets current voices from socio-political discourses. Literary interventions create exciting discourse spaces for interdisciplinary exchange on the burning issues of our time. Theory meets artistic practice. How is the future conceivable as a place of longing?

Brave New Voices is part of the democracy campaign of RuhrBühnen.
