Panel 7 | Writing in a Burning World

The world is burning. We face climate change, global warming and the anthropocene crisis. Literature and art play an important role in this critical situation. Not only to describe the ‘burning’ situation, but also to explore new concepts and beliefs about the world. This session seeks to highlight the experiences of writers and artists who have discussed this topic and to dialogue about the challenges they faced, and to ask the question “what does it mean to write in this situation?”
