Project Description
Séfer is a literary festival organised by Mozaika in Barcelona. Each year, it unfolds over a week of events, including book launches, panel discussions, poetry readings, and a pop-up bookshop to openly promote Jewish literature in the city. The events are free and open to the public. This year’s festival took place from 3 to 8 November and included the promotion of several Israeli works.
Findings
- The festival ran safely with no security incidents, despite the open nature of the events, public promotion, and the current political climate in Spain.
- Uri Fink’s comic book collection, In the Heart of October 7, was well received, drawing a full audience.
- After participants from Israel expressed discomfort, one event was rescheduled and replaced with an equally engaging session.
