Moderated by the Mange Tes Mots collective.
Readings in Swedish and French (Swedish readings will be translated into French).

Poetry Evening: Tarik Kiswanson and Guests
With CHOUF and Burcu Sahin.
Readings in Swedish, French and English (Swedish readings will be translated into French).
The exchange between Tarik Kiswanson and invited poets will be in English.
Artist and poet Tarik Kiswanson, together with the French and Swedish poets, weaves together a polyphonic space where each language forms part of a shared fabric of memory and resistance. Poetic translation is seen as true recreation: each translated poem becomes a new work, conveying different resonances and its own identity.
