Between Worlds
Reviving the Silk Route of Expression
In the heart of Europe lies a city of the entire world, yet suspended between worlds—Brussels, where extraordinary human character and cultural richness pulse beneath an often unnoticed surface. The Asian Literary Festival, Brussels Edition, weaves creative expression from the global majority into this vibrant tapestry, transforming the European capital into an unparalleled sanctuary of cultural exchange and cross-fertilisation. This festival revives the historical exchanges between East and West, breathing new life into ancient dialogues as literary traditions converge and contemporary voices rise, creating a dynamic crossroads where stories transcend borders and new cultural conversations bloom in this remarkable intersection of civilisations.
