DESCRIPTION:At Brainwash Festival 2026\, we will explore this year’s theme\
	, the shape of us\,\nfrom a variety of perspectives. Through performances\
	, talks\, lectures\, films and\nencounters that make the new conceivable.\
	n\nBefore our eyes\, a world that long felt self-evident is shifting. Poli
	tical\nsystems are under strain\, technology is pushing deeper into our da
	ily lives\, and\nautonomy turns out to be far less stable than we assumed.
	 It is not just the\nworld around us that is changing — it is the way we l
	ive together.\n\nCan we still think in terms of a “we”? Shared values\, a 
	shared story? Or have we\nquietly unlearned how to do that?\n\nAs much we 
	like to believe we can manage on our own\, we need each other. Perhaps\nmo
	re than ever\, in a world shaped by forces that pull us apart. It is preci
	sely\nin the fractures that new perspectives emerge. Visions of the future
	 that set us\nin motion.\n\nDuring Brainwash Festival\, we give shape to t
	his search through performances\,\ntalks\, lectures\, films and encounters
	 that unsettle\, challenge and make the new\nimaginable.\n\nRead all about
	 the theme and sub themes here\n[https://brainwashfestival.nl/en/the-shape
	-of-us/].\n\nThe first names have been announced! Here’s who you’ll encoun
	ter at the\nBrainwash Festival.\n\nBRAINWASH SATURDAY\nSaturday 31st of oc
