In the heart of Amsterdam, De Balie presents talk shows and public programming on topics of interest to all of us for many different groups. Through her programming, De Balie constantly draws the attention of the public, politicians, and the media to developments in society.

It is the place where artists, scholars, and journalists comment on social developments and where politicians and decision-makers connect with artists, thinkers, opinion leaders, and the public. In thirty-five years, De Balie has grown into a phenomenon in the field of talks, high-profile interviews, films, and art projects.
