A networking session is followed by an open roundtable discussion among directors of international literature festivals about their work, current challenges, and the dynamics of the global literary scene. The event offers fascinating insights into curatorial processes, cultural exchange, and the question of how festivals around the world respond to political, economic, and social change.
In cooperation with the Goethe-Institut, the Institut français Berlin and the Slowenisches Kulturzentrum – SKICA Berlin.
