Can writers be activists? With Clarisse Gargard, Lisa Weeda and Flurina Badel.
In Conversations on Writing as Activism a panel of international literary experts – publishers, editors, policymakers and writers – discuss writing as activism. How can literature support activist ideals, and what is needed for writers to activate communities and present the connections between people across the world? Plus, what position can/should literary organisations take in order to support the activistic responsibility literary artists are taking? Together with the audience we will talk about the latest developments in the literary field. The program will be conducted in English and can also be followed via livestream.
