SUMMARY:The Tbilisi Speech to Europe - Public Speech by Michal Hvorecký at Ilia State University
DESCRIPTION:From a rostrum in the capital of Georgia\, leading Slovak intellectual Michal Hvorecký addresses a Europe-wide audience. As a novelist and essayist\, Hvorecký explores the fragility of democracy and the political fault lines of contemporary Central and Eastern Europe with irony\, urgency and historical awareness. In his recent book Dissident\, he turns to questions of resistance\, civic courage and the meaning of dissent in an increasingly polarized Europe. \nEurope is for many – especially viewed from the supposed periphery – not merely a geopolitical actor\, but a symbol of freedom\, justice and dignity. At the same time\, in light of the increasing distance to such an old and crucial partner as the U.S.\, the threat from Russia and the rise of a new and loud nationalism\, Europe is faced with the task of redefining itself. Perhaps Georgia\, which has been exposed to imperial threats for centuries and yet has always managed to start afresh\, is a place from which Europe can reflect anew on its own path. \nOne of Central Europe’s most perceptive literary voices reflects on what Europe stands for – and on what will be required to defend it. \nSee the full programme at the link.\nMore details about the debates: Tbilisi 2026 – Debates On Europe \nWorking languages: Georgian\, English \nTime and date: 13 June\, 19:00-20:30 \nVenue: Ilia State University\, Room B201\, 32 Ilia Chavchavadze Avenue \nAdmission is free. \n
