Illiberal Democracy: The Future of Freedom

Three cultural giants come together from across Hungary, Poland and Turkey to ask: Is Europe just a place or a set of values that are rapidly unravelling?

Join 86-year old Hungarian philosopher Agnes Heller, renowned Turkish novelist Elif Shafak and multi-award winning Polish poet Adam Zagajewski for this important conversation about the future of freedom.

Presented by Free Word in partnership with Index on Censorship as part of Unravelling Europe.

Free Word Centre, Wednesday 15 June 2016, 6:45pm, tickets: £5 / £3 concession

The European Literature Network was created with the mission of championing great writing from Europe in the UK – and doing it together. Open to writers, translators, publishers, agents, booksellers, festival directors, arts managers and journalists, ELNet is a free, collaborative hub for sharing news and views.

ELNet operates without funding or grants (unfortunately) and is therefore dependent on the passion, professionalism and dedication of our core team and on an extensive network of volunteers, supporters, partners and donors.
