Thematic Cluster “Togetherness”
About literature of presence, the practice of coexistence, and the building of dialogue in the conditions of loss, pain, and polarization. Key themes of the cluster: writing as a way of remaining oneself; literature as a space of understanding; the choice to be close – while holding on to oneself. Curators: Kateryna Mikhalitsyna and Ostap Slyvynsky The 32nd Lviv International BookForum is supported by the International Renaissance Foundation, House of Europe, the Polish Institute in Kyiv, the Mieroszewski Centre, the Canadian non-profit organization Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, and the Goethe-Institut in Ukraine.
