Chat Cafe
Join Maine authors Cynthia Reeves and Laura Bonazzoli as we welcome Julia Bayly, a journalist and travel writer with a passion for the Arctic, and Sherre Wilson-Liljegren, a visual artist whose work captures the stunning landscapes of Svalbard, for an intimate and informal conversation with the audience. For those who have traveled the Arctic—or have dreamed of doing so—this event gives witness to panoramic vistas and one-of-a kind spectacles such as a massive glacier calving.
We’ll also be discussing such diverse topics as sailing the Arctic aboard a three-masted barque, Norway’s efforts
to create a sustainable tourist trade, and what life is like during the seasons of perpetual light and endless dark.
There will be a screening of the British filmmaker Adam Laity’s documentary “A Short Film About Ice.” We will also be holding a drawing for a copy of Cecelia Blomdahl’s best-selling “Life on Svalbard: Finding Home on a Remote Island Near the North Pole.”
For audience members who would like to enjoy dinner during the event, the Villager Cafe will be offering its evening menu.
