The "Chytai Forum" literary festival is going on in Zaporizhzhia, featuring the theme "Identity in Action" and the slogan "Knowing Our Own, Creating the New". Guests can look forward to events with Ukrainian writers and artists, creative writing workshops by Litosvita, and meetings with poets, prose writers, and cultural figures from Zaporizhzhia—including Valentyna Vislenko, Oles Barlih, and Valentyn Terletskyi.
By its third year, what began as a book fair had evolved into a robust ecosystem where libraries, writers, publishers, and readers themselves create a space for trust and dialogue. The organizing team explains how "Chytai Forum" shapes a space for reading and discovering one’s hometown; key takeaways are summarized in the carousel.
You can read more about the evolution of "Chytai Forum," its efforts to encourage reading, the role of libraries, and the impact of the war on the festival in an article by Anastasiia Zahidullina on the cultural media outlet "Sensor."
