Three days of books, voices and visions on the feminine
“FEM” is a celebration of publishing that gives voice, space and shape to the female universe: three days of talks, presentations, dialogues and performances dedicated to women’s writing and to narratives about the feminine.
An event that highlights publishing houses that promote women’s talent—from emerging voices to established authors—alongside writers, essayists and scholars who explore crucial themes such as gender, the body, motherhood, work, beauty, rights, memory and freedom.
Programme highlights:
- Book presentations
- Talks and roundtables with authors and publishers
- Writing workshops and school activities
- Independent publishing fair
- Readings, installations and evening performances
A festival that is not just a showcase, but a space for listening, exchange and discovery. An invitation to read women, to read the feminine, and to read the world with new eyes.
Because writing is also an act of liberation. And each woman who tells her story opens up a space of possibility for all.
