Ocean Vuong on Beauty and Queerness
Notas do episódio
What if the parts of yourself you have been taught to hide actually hold the most power? In March 2026, Vietnamese American writer Ocean Vuong came to Bozar for a conversation on beauty and ugliness – themes that lay at the heart of our programme that season and run throughout his work. In this episode from the Writers & Thinkers Stage series, sitting down with Belgian writer Saskia de Coster, Vuong explores how queerness can reshape our understanding of beauty – and why embracing what society has taught us to hide can become a source of strength.
