Sakli(g)t 2024: Sveriges första sakprosafestival
Sakli(g)t is Sweden's first festival of literary non-fiction, organized by the Rikstolvan cultural centre outside Simrishamn in collaboration with the Institute for Futures Studies and Linnaeus UniverGiven the central role of non-fiction as a knowledge-transmitting link between science and the public, Sweden needs an arena where the narrative non-fiction book is the focus of in-depth discussions on the politically increasingly hot issues of facts, truth, narrative, reality and how form and aesthetics affect both knowledge itself and what knowledge becomes viable in today's technologically mobile media landscape. Such meeting places for producers and consumers of the documentary genre have long existed in the neighboring Nordic countries, but have not yet existed in Sweden.This year's program includes author talks with Åsa Wikforss, Nicolas Lunabba, Saga Cavallin, Johan Hilton, Lyra Ekström Lindbäck, Gudrun Schyman, Lasse Berg and Elena Kostiutjenko. In total, 50 authors will appear at the festival. Read the . Get .Together with Rikstolvan, the Institute is a co-founder of the festival, which was launched last year. A permanent establishment of the festival has been made possible with funds from the Institute for Futures Studies, Linnaeus University, the Nature & Culture Foundation, the Swedish Academy, the Swedish Arts Council, Simrishamn Municipality and Region Skåne.
