On November 29-30, the literary seminar “Boundlessness”, which has already become traditional, was held in Bialystok.
In total, about 30 Belarusian writers, poets, and artists from both the Belarusian minority and the Belarusian diaspora took part in it, the creative component of which has grown significantly after the events of 2020. Nevertheless, both writers have a common view of what is happening in the world around us.
“The most important conclusion for me is that it doesn’t matter where writers live, ordinary people, everyone lives when the war is knocking on the walls. The feeling of danger, war, and threat is not only what is happening in Ukraine, for Belarus, and for the whole world. It is felt in all the works, statements, speeches that were heard throughout the “Boundlessness”,” said the organizer of the seminar, Eugeniusz Wappa.
According to him, it is that war that causes one more thing – it causes the need for memory. “It’s only through memory that we are stronger. And I really wanted to listen to what happened – as in the readings of Andrei Sciepaniuk or the statements of Mrs. Klava. Their personal memory, poetic and prose creativity, what Misza Androsiuk writes (he has an anniversary today)”, – said Wappa, agreeing with other participants of the “Boundlessness” that even now “the world has become pregnant with war.”
