Out of all the things humans have done throughout history, our need to tell stories is the one consistency. Stories are all around, they are what shaped our communities, our art, our cultures. And for as long as we have been able to write, the written world has flourished as rich as our own.

The world of literature is one of whimsy and tragedy, it allows us to experience worlds of hurt and wonder we could have otherwise never imagined. But how does literature impact our world today? How did the art form evolve, how does it impact us psychologically, and how can it help us better ourselves?

With talks by poets Mia You, Onno Kosters and writers Jasper Polane and more.

For answers to those burning questions (or other questions, similarly on fire) hop on by on the 11th of June 2022 at the Instituto Cervantes, Domplein 3, for the Written World Literature symposium, organised by SIB Utrecht. Join us in learning something old, something new, and maybe even share some stories of your own.
