Buzzing Literature Festival in Aarhus

LiteratureXchange explores how literature can challenge our understanding of ourselves and the world we live in. Can literature change the world? Can it change our opinions or put them in perspective?

The festival will create a space for dialogue concerning the potentials of literature by focusing on current global themes. This will be discussed by international and Danish authors, researchers and critics.


There will be separate tickets for each event, which can be bought online. The event's Facebook page will continuously be updated with new events. There is no ticket for the entire festival, but there will be package deals for several events available. There will also be several free events.
