Each city partner across its 16 European countries hosted a cross-sectoral symposium exploring the relationship between the city and its Ulysses inspired ARTS & SOCIETY theme – migration, democracy, mental health, environmental pollution, social co-existence, sexual equality and freedom of speech, amongst others. In June 2024 all partners gathered in Dublin to discuss the outcomes of the city symposia and the resulting pamphlet, Will You Answer? 309 Questions from Europe, will be published in late 2024, structured in the form of 309 questions (as inspired by episode 17 of Ulysses) as an inspiration for artists and policy makers alike.
The theme of “Nestor” perfectly fit the city of Trieste because of its troubled modern history which included multiple changes of nationality in less than a century. But the rich suggestions coming from Joyce’s book are somehow simultaneously universal, global and local: trade, liberalism, epidemics, peace, language, economics, debt, coexistence, feminism, freedom. The audience discussed all of these matters starting from the words of Ulysses, in order to assemble the 15 question for the UEO Arts & Society publication, Will You Answer? 309 Questions from Europe.

Bloomsday 2023 saw a host of events in Trieste over the weekend and a live online discussion took place on Bloomsday 2023, with Sean Doran & Liam Browne (AOB) and Claudia Woolgar (Brave New World Producties) attending to share information on the project – its origins and progress.
Audience Feedback
“It is amazing how Ulysses always speaks of today, it is always topical.“
“It was really interesting. There are not many occasions where one can express oneself so freely and confront oneself with others on general and particular topics in this area.”
“Do you plan to do more of these?”
