9TH EDITION / BBK BILBAO KULTURA SOCIAL FORUM
01 / ANOTHER WAY OF SEEING
The world has cracks.
And possibilities.
What if culture helped us imagine other futures?
From 28 to 30 September, Bilbao will host a new edition of BBK Bilbao Kultura Social Forum, a gathering that brings together voices from culture, thought, science and society to ask ourselves new questions.
Under the theme (Im)possible Futures, this edition invites us to look differently at what seems broken, difficult to change or even impossible.
Kintsugi is a technique that turns fractures into parts of a new story. That is the identity of BBK Bilbao Kultura Social Forum: understanding culture as a form of kintsugi that repairs and transforms our realities. (Im)possible Futures begins with daring to look at the cracks.
