Why a Café?
This blog is born with the purpose of putting together a diversity of thoughts in different fields. Opinions and information that could become convenient or may open discussions, trains of thought… As it doesn’t have a defined thematic, is inspired by the lieu where artists, intellectuals and all people shared their inquietudes, where they wrote notes and sketches on a napkin that could change but a little their lives, their field or history.
A café embodies the informality of a group of people that share their thoughts around a common table.
Why Brussels?
Brussels is but a shadow of what it was. Its streets showing the remarkable architecture produced by a long-gone well-educated bourgeoisie; a way of life that disappeared scattered among passing tenants with no roots, thus with no bonds. Both, past and present, representative of their respective era. Nevertheless, Brussel, Bruxelles, is again forced to be a meeting point between the cultures of Europe; well-meaning purposes of brotherhood between them but not exempt of conflict, for it is situated in the line that hopelessly divides the continent between two antagonistic language families. But precisely, opposite positions in dialogue may become more constructive than a lethargic existence.
Brussels represents the diversity in disciplines and languages the blog appeals to.
