In the spirit of worldthreading and with the goal of strengthening ties for our EU network of publishers and performers, Red Door invites you to a weekend of networking, performing, connecting and sharing your latest projects, work, and community initiatives.
This is a meeting specifically for cultural organizers to share their projects and establish ties with fellow organizations of similar perspectives, as well as for translators and poets/performers interested in cultural organization.
A poetry reading night/performances will be hosted on April 2nd in collaboration with local businesses at La Fee Verte, as a fundraising effort for Ukrainian solidarity.
