Multilingual Writing LAB: Online Networking Meeting
Do you live in Iceland and write across languages? Would you like to connect with other authors, editors, translators, and creatives working in the literary scene? Join us for an online gathering!
This meeting is an opportunity to meet fellow writers, say hello, share what we do, and learn about each other’s writing, projects, and creative practices. Our goal is to build a network of multilingual authors living across Iceland, strengthen connections, and create new opportunities for sharing, exchange, and collaboration.
The meeting is part of Cultural Spaces and Migration: Research and Art, an event taking place in Akureyri and organised by Ós Pressan. The main event will also be streamed online:

The online session will be hosted by Ewa Marcinek, a Polish-Icelandic author based in Reykjavík. She is a co-founder of Ós Pressan, a nonprofit publishing house, and the founder of RVK Poetics, a multilingual literary event series, and Ritrými, a multilingual writing space, working in collaboration with Reykjavík UNESCO City of Literature.
Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and tell us a little about yourself and your work. We look forward to meeting you!
