Details
In a Europe filled with uncertainties, populism, and a future that seems too complex to calmly plan, culture can provide us with the necessary resilience. Culture is another form of politics that creates spaces for meeting and understanding others. With culture, there is always hope. This is the belief of Teresa Grøtan, the director of the Bergen International Literary Festival. A journalist and writer, she has published several books, the most recent being "Før øya synker."(Before the island sinks). She will be in conversation with Miquel Molina, deputy director of La Vanguardia and writer.
At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of her books.
The event will be in English with simultaneous translation in Spanish.
