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?
BBK Bilbao Kultura Social Forum brings together culture, thought, science and society to ask new questions. To listen to people who are already transforming their reality. And to imagine what we can change in ours.
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 capable of repairing and transforming our realities. (Im)possible Futures begins with daring to look at the cracks.
