Talks, Readings & Signings
The Book & Print Fair programme will include a series of Talks between artists, as well as designers, publishers, curators and other figures from the Nordic contemporary art scene. This year's Talks Programme includes conversations with Jytte Rex, Hannah Toticki, Signe Høi, Fryd Frydendahl, Gudrun Hasle, Tal R and Alexander Tovborg to name just a few.
Look out also for a series of Readings by authors featured at the fair, offering a rare chance to hear voices from fiction, poetry, and theory discuss their work in their own words. This year's programme features readings by Carina Zunino, Karen Bro, Lene Abro, Ferdinand Ahm Krag, Marie Thams, Julie Sass, Jóhan Martin Christiansen, Ole Morten Nygård and Johan Zimsen Kristiansen.
Make sure to also attend one of the many exclusive Signings that will take place during the days of the fair, where you can meet the authors and artists behind the work, and come away with a signed copy of their latest book.

Deep Reading Corner
Talks and readings at the CHART Book & Print Fair will take place in a dedicated room adjacent to the publisher presentations. Inside this room you will also find the Deep Reading Corner, featuring a thoughtfully-designed installation by a seat in Siena.
The Deep Reading Corner will combine a curated display of printed matter with peaceful surroundings. This area is designed to inspire calmness and allow for a more focused experience of the tactile, reflective, and enduring power of print in an increasingly digital world.
Each of the publishers participating at the fair have been invited to highlight one publication inside this space. We hope you will take this opportunity to slow down, tune in to your surroundings and experience the artistry of print publishing in a truly unique setting.
Thank you to a seat in Siena for their collaboration regarding the installation for this year's Deep Reading Corner.
