2021 Seoul International Writers' Festival: Awakening
2021 서울국제작가축제: 자각
2021.10.08. ~ 10.24.
Awakening
We’ve finally come to realize that we knew nothing at all. What we knew before— light dinners, masks, warm embraces, ventilators, applause and cheers, families and friends, infected people and passers-by…
We now think about the things that have changed completely. We recognize the world in 2021, altered yet fixed, and the world of tomorrow, which will be different yet constant.
We’ve given rise to crises and misery. It falls on our shoulders overcome them.
Here, literature sets its foot down and awakens by asking itself where it should start and finish, and whose hands it should hold.
We awaken.
Awakening—we’ll start anew from there.

2020 Seoul International Writers' Festival: Writing Tomorrow
2020 서울국제작가축제: 내일을 쓰다
2020.11.02. ~ 11.08.
Writing Tomorrow
Before falling asleep, we often become worried and anxiousabout what tomorrow may bring.At the same time, we look forward to the adventures that lie ahead.When we wake up however, we find that tomorrow is once againbeyond our reach.
How different is our life todayfrom the tomorrow that we envisioned yesterday?Will we ever be able to arrive at the life of tomorrow?
Today’s literature is yesterday’s tomorrow;what does it weave out of all the ominous premonitionsand bizarre yet enchanting dreams from yesterday?
Tomorrow and in the days that follow,we will encounter our own faces that feel unfamiliar to us.We will interact with writers from all corners of the world,who have conveyed those strange new faces in multiple languages.
You are warmly invited to participate in the 2020 Seoul International Writers’ Festival. -
