We are all observers (John Rich)
As we return from Norway and Kapittel, I am filled with gratitude: for all the writers involved, for our host city Stavanger and the generous people at Kapittel, ICORN, and the culture house, and for our many supporters individual and organizational. Thank you.
But this is not a goodbye. During the festival, we presented, but we were primarily observers. Observing is active, and our “free” time from the festival was often filled with energized debates and thoughtful consideration. We are not done thinking—or sharing.
Our dispatches will continue as we overcome jetlag and reflect. Here you will find ruminations on freedom, story, place, boundaries, home, exile, and more. Thank you for observing. We hope to inspire you as we have been inspired.
