They'll explore passages through time and space, illuminate the shadows of history and plunge into apocalyptic images of the future, questioning the foretold spectralization of human relations and the challenges of artificial intelligence.\nAbout time: meeting with Solvej Balle, Andr\u00e9s Barba and Agnieszka Szpila\nA round-table discussion on three books that defy time: Le Volume du temps by Danish author Solvej Balle, Le Dernier Jour de la vie ant\u00e9rieure by Spanish author Andr\u00e9s Barba and Heksy\u00a0by Polish author Agnieszka Szpila. In these three novels, the authors make a strange pact with time, which is no longer linear, but plastic: subject to loops, gaps, stops and journeys into the past. Their characters become toys of time.\nMarch 29, 202513:30 - 14:30Bursschouwburg\nMeet the Author: Agnieszka Szpila\nAgnieszka Szpila a rising figure in Polish ecofeminism, is a writer, screenwriter and activist. The holder of a degree in cultural studies, she made her literary debut in 2015 with the story \u0141ebki od Szpilki. Her first novel,\u00a0Bardo (2018), soon became a bestseller. Her second novel, Heksy, was a finalist for the prestigious Nike Literary Prize (Poland) and has been sold in eight languages, adapted for the stage and enjoyed immense critical and public success.\nHeksy is an unclassifiable novel, full of pulsating, vital energy.\nThe book you are holding in your hands is a torpedo. Its energy, humour and defiance will jolt your mind and change the way you think forever.- Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel Prize in Literature\n\u00a0\nModerator: July RobertsLanguage: Polish, translated into French by C\u00e9cile BocianowskiPublisher PL: Wydawnictwo W.A.B., 2022Publisher FR: Notabilia, Les \u00e9ditions Noir sur Blanc, 2024 (translation: C\u00e9cile Bocianowski)\nMarch 30, 202511:00 - 12:00\u00a0Muntpunt Brussels\nNew voices from Eastern Europe - Marta Hermanowicz, Myroslav Laiuk and Iulian Bocai\nThis meeting is part of the Connecting Emerging Literary Artists (CELA) project, a development program for the new generation of European literary voices in 11 countries, including Poland, Ukraine and Romania.\nThree authors will share the stage with their Dutch and Flemish translators: Marta Hermanowicz (Poland), Myroslav Laiuk (Ukraine) and Iulian Bocai (Romania).\nAccompanied by their translators, Ma\u0142gosia Briefjes, Charlotte van Rooden and Roman Nesterenco, will read excerpts from their books in the original and in Dutch, and discuss the importance of translations in disseminating literature.\nMarta Hermanowicz (b. 1982) holds degrees in political science from the University of Szczecin and the Tadeusz Gadacz School of Philosophy, as well as in art history from the Art Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Collegium Civitas.
