Capital Culture

The 20th European Meeting of Cultural Journals will take place in Sibiu, Romania, 21-24 September. This year's meeting is organized by Eurozine and its Romanian partners Euphorion and Lettre International Romania, in cooperation with the Brukenthal Museum and the German Cultural Centre Sibiu. The conference is part of the official programme of Sibiu -- European Cultural Capital 2007. More than 70 editors and intellectuals from Europe's leading cultural journals will participate in this event, and the programme includes seminars and debates as well as an exhibition displaying journals from more than 30 countries. Under the heading "Changing places (What's normal anyway?)", the conference will address the challenges facing cities and states as well as art, literature, and the media as the need for change meets the urge for normality.
