Eastern Express
A series of meetings, discussions, Q & As with Eastern European writers, artists and intellectuals. One of the most prominent obstacles to the development of cultural cooperation, overcoming cultural barriers and disarming stereotypes regarding the culture of Eastern Europe is the language barrier. Although it does not constitute any major threat to other domains of cultural praxis (music, the visual arts), it does indeed dwarf the reception of literature as well as the broadly defined exchange of ideas. This year we would like to draw our (and the audience’s) attention to the Czech Republic and Armenia.
Additionally, as part of the series, Q & As with artists will be organised, offering audience members a chance to hear about their experience, reflections and inspirations.
