Simultaneous salons on Fortress Europe

The galleries of the Belluard Fortress will be the venue for several salons, which will run simultaneously and be hosted by some 20 or so specialists. Artists, scientists and practitioners will share their insights and expertise on a particular facet of Fortress Europe. For example, a researcher in European migration law will explain existing plans to externalise asylum requests, while an ethnologist will run a workshop examining the notions of credibility and plausibility. The public will also have the chance to find out what a day in the life of a director of an asylum-seeker reception centre is like. The intimate setting should make it possible to raise the level of a debate that all too often is mired in polemics.
