Bibliothek im August 2016-2022

Under the artistic direction of Virve Sutinen, the festival artists were asked to select three books that are important to their work and their way of thinking. The Bibliothek im August library at HAU2 was opened during the festival and invited audiences to borwse the shelves, meet with other festival-goers and share their festival experiences with each other.

See a full inventory of the Bibliothek below.
