WELCOME TO BIG BRUE
Join Big Brue’s founders, Mariella Frostrup, Jason McCue, Eleanor O’Keeffe and Catherine Fairweather, as they open the inaugural festival and set out the ideas, questions and ambitions behind it.
They will be joined by neuroscientist Beau Lotto for a short opening provocation, inviting us to approach the weekend with curiosity, challenge our assumptions and see the world differently.
A lively curtain-raiser to two days of conversation, argument, discovery and unexpected encounters.
