Every edition of the Festival is curated around a specific theme related to the life of the island (discussions about socio-political aspect of intellectual migration and nomadism, analysis of the concept of islomania, talks on traveling writings as a literary category, views on the phenomenon of “summer readings”, romance novels and noir stories through a perception of regional and local authors, etc. ) and consists of the evening literary program, readings and round table talks held in an open public space. A series of hands-on multilingual workshops (“photography workshop”, “word hunt – workshop about local dialect”, “hand made paper”, etc.) have been organized as side events, for the local audience as well as for visitors of the island of all languages and generations.
With this project, BLOCKFREI wants to contribute to the higher cooperation among civil sector in the region of former Yugoslavia and its diaspora and enable a platform for multicultural exchange. ŠUŠUR! Festival of Words so far was supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, the City of Korčula and TRADUKI.
