XVII KROKODIL Festival

When the earth shakes, and when everyone tells us to be silent, we choose to write, create, and erase the boundaries between art and real life. Under pressure, but — together. Because, when the pressure overwhelms us, we resist with solidarity and engaged words. No pressure, under pressure!

International Book Arsenal Festival

Can language reliably convey the experience of one to another?
