Tegendraadse denkers en kunstenaars uit binnen- en buitenland schijnen tijdens Brainwash Festival hun licht op de grote vragen van vandaag, bieden verheldering in verwarrende tijden en helpen nieuwe kaders voor vooruitgang te scheppen! Binnen het oude centrum van Amsterdam denken we onder meer na over narcisme en zelfliefde, diepgaande ongelijkheid, ideaalbeelden als boosdoener, toekomstvisies en dystopieën, bevrijdende algoritmen, de keerzijde van authenticiteit en onze postkapitalistische cultuur.

Seven leading thinkers will address today’s most urgent questions at our first ever online festival: Brainwash Digital. Because the need for innovative ideas and fresh perspectives has never been more pressing.
Tune in to our talks with Martha Nussbaum, Jia Tolentino, Layla F. Saad, Srećko Horvat, Michael Sandel, Samantha Power and Richard Sennett. With this world-renowned lineup we go beyond the cascade of news headlines and daily statistics to discover the enormous ideological and political impact of the crisis, and explore future scenarios.
What are our values in a post-pandemic world? How should we change both our personal lives and our public policy? What can be done? Does the growing gap between the rich and poor demand a radical re-do over our economy? Does our sense of morality end at our national borders? By using these and more essential questions our speakers invite you to help rethink the system to achieve the world we need.
