On 28 October 2026, the Musée gaumais in Virton hosts a lecture titled Imagine a World Without… Borders. Françoise Moreau and Christophe Sohn invite the audience into a shared reflection on what divides, connects and shapes the spaces where we live. Two complementary perspectives come together in a venue already devoted to Gaume memory and identity.
Far from the clean lines drawn on maps, the border is examined here for what it truly is: a human construction, shaped over centuries by power relations, successive treaties and the deep need to belong. The talk encourages attendees to unlearn the idea of the border as a natural given, and to see modern territories through a more questioning lens — one that also opens a path toward imagining the frontiers of tomorrow.
It is worth checking the Musée gaumais website or the dedicated event page a few days before 28 October to confirm opening hours and any reservation requirements. Small-museum lecture rooms fill up quickly, and arriving a few minutes early ensures a comfortable seat.
