Summer 2020 is different. It is like none that has happened to us before. It is a bit calmer and more relaxed, with no busy socialising or noisy get-togethers, it facilitates self-immersion and reflection. The new reality inspired the authors of The Summer of Forking Lines to explore alternative ways to interact with the listener and find new connections among texts, spaces, nature, cities, evolving people and the world around. It is a summer trip, a poetry series, an artistic experiment and a therapy practice at once.

The project was commissioned for CulturaFest, a contemporary culture festival: www.culturafest.fi.
