Authorsโ Reading Month 2026 has now come to an end. A letter of thanks
The Authors Reading Month (ARM) literary festival has now come to a successful conclusion. The festival took place in four citiesโBrno and Ostrava in the Czech Republic, and Trenฤรญn and Bratislava in Slovakia. At the same time, the Greenlandic Writers' Association (Kalaallit Atuakkiortut, KA) was also represented in the festival's programme in Lviv, Ukraine.
The readings were primarily aimed at adult audiences, but fortunately the festival also included special events for children featuring children's authors. The response was overwhelming, both from audiences and the media, and every evening reading was livestreamed on the organisers' page.
My heartfelt thanks go to all the participating authors, both those from Greenland and those living in Denmark.
This marks the first time that Greenlandic literature, literature about Greenland, and, above all, our cultureโboth our Indigenous heritage and our contemporary cultureโhave been presented so extensively and over such a long period to an international audience.
I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Kalaallit Atuakkiortut's partners, the organisers of Authors Reading Month, and the many dedicated volunteers in each city who made the festival such an exceptional experience.
Finally, I wish to extend my deepest thanks to our sponsors: Naalakkersuisut (the Government of Greenland), the Greenland Culture Fund, Tips- og Lottopulje C, the Danish Parliament's Special Grant, the Danish Arts Foundation, and Nuna Fonden. Without their generous financial support, it would not have been possible to carry out this ambitious initiative and achieve the success that the festival became.

Authos Reading Month 2026 er nu afsluttet. Et takke brev.
Litteraturfestivalen Authors Reading Month (ARM) er nu vel overstรฅet. Festivalen fandt sted i fire byer โ Brno og Ostrava i Tjekkiet samt Trenฤรญn og Bratislava i Slovakiet. Samtidig var Kalaallit Atuakkiortut (KA) ogsรฅ reprรฆsenteret ved festivalens program i Lviv, Ukraine.
Oplรฆsningerne var primรฆrt rettet mod et voksent publikum, men heldigvis blev der ogsรฅ arrangeret sรฆrlige programpunkter for bรธrn med deltagelse af bรธrnebogsforfattere. Interessen var overvรฆldende โ bรฅde fra publikum og medierne โ og alle oplรฆsningsaftener blev livestreamet via arrangรธrernes Facebook-side.
Af hjertet tak til alle de deltagende forfattere, bรฅde dem fra Grรธnland og dem bosat i Danmark.
Det er fรธrste gang, at grรธnlandsk litteratur, litteraturen om Grรธnland og ikke mindst vores kultur โ bรฅde den oprindelige og den moderne โ er blevet prรฆsenteret sรฅ omfattende og over sรฅ lang en periode for et internationalt publikum.
En stor tak skal ogsรฅ lyde til Kalaallit Atuakkiortuts samarbejdspartnere, arrangรธrerne af Authors Reading Month samt de mange frivillige, som i hver enkelt by gjorde festivalen til en enestรฅende oplevelse.
Endelig vil jeg rette en varm tak til vores sponsorer: Naalakkersuisut, Grรธnlands Kulturfond, Tips- og Lottopulje C, Folketingets sรฆrlige tilskud, Statens Kunstfond og Nuna Fonden. Uden deres generรธse รธkonomiske stรธtte ville det ikke have vรฆret muligt at gennemfรธre denne store satsning og opnรฅ den succes, festivalen blev.
