about brainwash festival
Brainwash Festival is the biggest festival of thought in the Netherlands and Belgium, bringing together more than eighty speakers and makers in some sixty programmes. Alongside the festival, we organise events such as the Brainwash Nights, Brainwash Specials and the Brainwash Book Clubs. We bring a new slant to your thinking on dominant ideas, patterns and systems. We think about how we can shape the world and our lives in radical new ways.
