It was a joy to spend the evening of 6 June at the Tamistad Reading Sessions with Ana Marwan in conversation with Maša Dabić and to end the night with a beautiful and virtuosic concert by Jelena Popržan and Flora Geißelbrecht.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us for this final session of our spring cycle. See you again in autumn.

Last Saturday we had an inspiring evening: Tamistad reading sessions with Adisa Bašić, hosted by Melisa Slipac. Before that, we opened the exhibition accompanying Adisa's novel The Book of Almir – photographs by Imrana Kapetanović (Almir’s belongings) and Mitar Simikić (Bijeljina, 2024).

We thank everyone who joined us for this deeply moving evening.

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting renowned Bosnian poet and writer Faruk Šehić at Pygmalion Theater in Vienna. He spoke with .dıtiramb’s Mascha Dabić about his life and work, and read some of his poetry and prose.

The evening was complemented by Elvedin Klačar’s installation Die Zeit des Schweigens (The Time of Silence) which examines the pressures of political control and global injustice, urging us to question whether we are willing to speak out despite the consequences.

Many thanks to the artists and everyone who joined us.

Last night we had the pleasure of hosting Croatian poet and author Nada Topić at Photo Cluster. We talked about her unique collection of poems titled Father, the life, death and resurrection of a book shop, self-publishing, peaceful coexistence of different registers of language in her poetics, and wish-granting goldfish bereft of purpose. Here’s a few pictures from the event.
