Say it Loud. The Art of Subtlety

I am thrilled to have been invited by the Asmara Addis Festival in Exile to join this wonderful programme in Brussels, my home city, where I grew up and lived until I was 27 years old, before I left to continue my journey in Amsterdam. Brussels is a city I always go back to. My family still lives there, and many of my closest friends. I will be part of two events, one as a panelist, and another one as a moderator. Do join if you are in Brussels on 29 and 30 May!
