Between the 16th and the 18th of January, a meeting of the TransStar Europe network – an international project aimed at the promotion of translations and literature – will take place in Krakow. Some of the events are dedicated only to the project’s participants, and some – including the Thursday meeting at Villa Decius with writer Yoko Tawada, author of the famous book Flying Soul, who writes in Japanese and German, and the Friday concert, Poetry for Pop Music Lovers, at Alchemia, featuring artists from Berlin: Ulrike Almut Sandig and Marlen Pelny – are open to the public. On Saturday, in turn, you will have the chance to talk to writer Sylwia Chutnik and translators of her books at the Bunkier Cafe.
