Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ixelles Museum renovation latest

The museum is undergoing a major renovation, the building is expanding, and they plan to reopen on March 27 of the following year with a refreshed vision for the collection.
On the Page: the Writers Festival of Belgium podcast #14: Dave Keating
Q: How did your publishing path unfold, and why did you choose self-publishing for the English edition?
The English manuscript was completed quickly, but traditional publishers wanted longer timelines. Self-publishing allowed a timely release in 2026 while regional publishers for other languages were secured later, enabling rapid engagement with readers in Brussels and beyond.
On the Page: the Writers Festival of Belgium podcast #14: Dave Keating
Q: What are the six things Europe has to do to become independent, as you outline in the book?
Key steps include pursuing federal Europe with treaty changes, diluting the EU Council's power due to its lack of transparency, ensuring comprehensive civics education about EU institutions, proposing an EU army modeled on a multi-state national guard concept, building a common European culture not centered on American media, and fostering national and regional confidence to reduce reliance on the United States.
On the Page: the Writers Festival of Belgium podcast #14: Dave Keating
Q: Tell us about the book and what motivated you to write it.
The Owned Continent argues that Europe has become culturally, economically, and strategically dependent on the United States, and it explores how American dominance has shaped European behavior and policy. The motivation was to understand how Europe could regain sovereignty and what steps—like federalism, civics education, and a more autonomous media and cultural sector—would be necessary.

Q: What is the aim for visitors when they come to see the show?
Visitors should enjoy the artworks, appreciate the period, and understand how beauty and ugliness were shaped then and continue to resonate today, while also noting the diversity of interpretations across regions.
