Kunst og litteratur: Leander Djønne
22 January 18:00–19:00
Leander Djønne (b. 1981) is a writer, visual artist, teacher, and farmer from Hardanger. He made his literary debut with Oskespiralen in 2022 – a debut that was widely acclaimed by critics and won the Readers’ Novel Prize the same year. In 2025, he received both the Brage Prize and the Oktober Prize for the novel Alt et. On Thursday, 22 January, he meets Lotte Konow Lund for a conversation based on the two novels.
The talk series Kunst og litteratur is hosted by visual artist Lotte Konow Lund (b. 1967) and takes place in the Festhall in the historic premises on the first floor of Oslo Kunstforening. In these conversations, Konow Lund explores, among other things, how and why visual artists write, as well as authors whose work engages with the visual arts. The conversations are published as a podcast after the events.
