Together with Clarté, Lyrikvännen, Amalthea, Arbetarskrivare, Pennor för Palestina, Ordkonst, Arkiv S, and Mana, MALMÖTXT organizes our own "Malmedalen". A full day where Malmö's literary and cultural world mobilizes and dream together about what the upcoming mandate period means if we get to decide. With discussions, workshops, readings, book sales, and interactive and performative elements, we explore the intersection between activism and literature. Together we present an inclusive yet determined proposal for Sweden's political agenda. Welcome to join us in shaping the future!
Doors open at 15:00, the program starts at 15:30 and continues until 19:30 including breaks. Free entry!
