Each afternoon, Lin An Phoa hosts an open-hearted conversation with makers, thinkers and performers from the Oerol programme. In this intimate talk show, we explore big questions — from climate change and representation to the power of imagination. Expect sharp insights, vulnerable stories and unexpected turns — all from the living-room heart of the festival hub, de Deining.
What happens when you take the time to truly listen? In De diepte in met Lin An Phoa, poet, linguist and Oerol host Lin An Phoa invites a different performer, thinker or maker each day for a deeper conversation. This talk show isn’t a quick-fire Q&A, but a thoughtful encounter — a space for nuance, curiosity and unexpected connections.
Lin An Phoa works at the intersection of language, society and culture. With a background in poetry and linguistics, she explores how we make meaning — and how those meanings shift in times of crisis and change. At Oerol, she speaks with artists and thinkers from this year’s festival programme about urgent questions: climate change, representation, colonial legacies, the role of humour in activism, and the power of art to open up new worlds.
Come and listen, reflect and wonder. Because sometimes the biggest shifts begin with the smallest words.
