“The motto of the sixth edition of the Festival is “Shared Worlds”. This year, emphasis is laid on what unites us through literature. “Us” means: readers and writers, authors and addressees all over the world” – explains Michał Paweł Markowski, the artistic director of the Conrad Festival.
The Conrad Festival coincides with the 1st anniversary of the granting of the “UNESCO’s City of Literature” prestigious title to Krakow, and – as every year – with the 18th International Book Fair in Krakow, which is the biggest event of this sort in Poland. The beacon of light from Conrad’s lighthouse will guide the most illustrious writers to Krakow to celebrate – in the vicinity of the Wawel royal castle – the 6th edition of the most important Polish festival of literature.
The Festival will last until Sunday, 26th October.
The Conrad Festival is a joint undertaking of the City of Krakow, Krakow Festival Office and the Tygodnik Powszechny Foundation.
