The multimedia literature pavilion ‘Migration of Souls’ begins at the Novi Sad Fair today, providing us with the opportunity to meet some of the most important contemporary writers of the region, and see and hear some of the biggest names on the world music scene coming to the European Capital of Culture from all corners of the planet. The pavilion lasts until 13 March and deals with the issue of migration as a general occurrence and as an important social phenomenon, but also as a source of inspiration for great works of art.
