Teresa Grøtan in conversation with Miquel Molina

Culture against uncertainty

Segovia 2025, 

In a Europe marked by uncertainty, populism, and a future too complex to calmly plan for, culture can give us the resilience we need. Because culture is another form of politics—it creates spaces for dialogue and helps us understand "the other." Where there is culture, there is always hope. This is how Teresa Grøtan, director of the Bergen International Literary Festival, sees it. A journalist and writer, she has published several books, the most recent being Før øya synker. She will speak with Miquel Molina, deputy editor of La Vanguardia and writer.

The event will be introduced by Nikola Pantelić and Vanessa Ileana Chioaru, Editor-in-Chief of the IE European Union Journal and the Vice President of the IE European Union Club.
