Discussion with immigrant language writers on the situation and experience of immigrant language writers living in the Nordic countries as part of Nordisk Sprogfest in Aarhus, September 18-21, 2017.
There are a lot of immigrant language writers residing in the Nordic countries, who have arrived here for various reasons. Some have left their home countries for political reasons or war, others have come to the North for love, or a number of other reasons. They all struggle to be able to work as professional writers in their new home countries, and they all find different methods for managing.
Hear the stories and experiences of Kamal Ahmane, Berber writer form Algeria who now writes in Danish, Roxana Crisólogo, Peruvian poet founder of the multilingual literature project Sivuvalo in Helsinki, and Azita Ghahreman, one of Iran’s leading poets who in Sweden has engaged in translating and editing.
