Crossing Border Festival 2026
Crossing Border is an International Literature Festival taking place from 3 to 8 November 2026 in The Hague and Antwerp. The program blends literary events with visual arts, featuring a large roster of photographers and artists who document performances and installations. Key categories include: literary readings and discussions (e.g., William Kentridge, Ta-Nehisi Coates), visual exhibitions (photography by Remco Koers, Parcifal Werkman, Angie Louws, etc.), a dedicated kids’ programme (Crossing Border Kids), and special projects such as "Future Husband" and "Droom Dit". The festival also showcases musical acts like Anouar Brahem Quartet and interdisciplinary collaborations (e.g., Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Federico Bottia). Partners and venues are listed, and tickets are available online. The event aims to bridge borders between literature, art, and culture across the Netherlands and Belgium.
