Ekenäs Dialog: Life Dreams

This August, the garden of Villa Skeppet becomes a setting for literature, conversation and reflection. Under the theme Life Dreams, German, Finnish and Finland Swedish authors come together in Ekenäs to discuss literature, identity, life choices and dreams: the ideas that guide us in life and in writing.

The festival offers the chance to hear some of today’s most widely read and respected authors in conversation. Events take place in the garden of Villa Skeppet, at Sigurd Snåresalen and at CHAPPE Art House, in English, Finnish and German.
