Scottish Pen 'Declarations' Panel chaired by Jenni Calder

Declarations is an anthology of prose and poetry - Panel readings and conversation 

As an anthology of prose and poetry, Declarations features some of Scotland’s finest writers who explore the importance of language, identity and freedom of expression. Today’s event features readings and conversations with Jenni Calder, Lizzie Eldridge, Miriam Vaswani, and Rosemary Hector.

 

DECLARATIONS is a Scottish PEN Event. Founded in 1927, Scottish PEN is one of 153 centres of PEN International. This worldwide association of writers works to defend those who speak truth to power, and promotes human rights for all. In 2021 Scottish PEN’s campaign to reform defamation laws saw the Scottish Parliament pass new legislation to protect free expression and fair comment.

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
