About the event
A panel of distinguished Albanian-Canadian authors—Arben Kallamata, Faruk Myrtaj, and Taip Sulko—will explore the challenges and advantages of being writers in the diaspora. Moderated by journalist and former Honorary Consul Genc Tirana, the discussion will delve into how living abroad impacts their creative process, the balance between preserving cultural identity and engaging with broader audiences, and the opportunities and limitations of writing outside their homeland. This thought-provoking conversation will provide insights into the unique perspective of Albanian writers navigating between cultures and literary traditions.
