Organizer
Thus we have Relampeio [1], an international literary flash festival. It is a festival as well as a celebration. A spark of hope and relief. Here, literary professionals donate their time and work planning, organizing, broadcasting and translating in order to share these experiences.
Relevant international fantasy and science fiction authors and publishers tell the public about their journeys and the ability to imagine new futures and realities. In this exchange, we may shine a light on the Brazilian literary scene, which still plays a little part in the global panorama.
Relampeio is born as a task force: free, trilingual and open to the public. We also aim to raise donations to civil pandemic combat initiatives, that are responsible for buying Personal protective equipment (PPE), medicine and other necessary items for health workers and the general population. We will point out projects that are receiving donations in between the interviews and encourage our public to contribute with them.
________
[1] Relampeio means spark of lightning in Brazilian Portuguese.
