Radical Reading Festival
Literature for Freedom, Solidarity and Change
We’re ready for the 2026 edition!
It will go off at the 4th & 5th September!
Literature with purpose
Welcome to Radical Reading Festival – a celebration of books, ideas, and engaged conversation
On the 4th and 5th of September (Friday 16-22, Saturday 12-24), we gather for a festival where words shape the world – and change it.
For two days, we fill the space with progressive authors, activists, critics, and cultural workers from across the globe. Experience debates, readings, talks, music, and inspiring encounters among people who believe in solidarity, equality, and action.
From anti-capitalism to feminism, from climate activism to queer and working-class literature – the festival’s stage, stalls, and book corners pulse with new ideas and old struggles in renewed form.
