LLIF: Language, Literature and Landscape
Friday 30 May 2025, 1pm – Writers at Work Hub – Hwb Awduron wrth eu Gwaith
Mererid Hopwood – the Welsh poet and lyricist, currently serving as Archdruid of the National Eisteddfod of Wales – chairs a conversation with writers from Europe: Maarja Pärtna from Estonia, Gianna Olinda Cadonau from Switzerland and Pol Guasch from Catalonia. They explore the climate emergency’s threat to society, landscape and minoritised languages and how literature can awake ecological consciousness.
A culmination of a two-week residency for 14 writers, this event will explore their collective approach to addressing climate change through language and literature and celebrate cultural links between Wales and the rest of Europe.
