Slovenia – Guest of Honour Country at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023

Documentation of winner suggestion for Franfurt Bookfair 2023 Slovenian pavilion created by Urška and Jure Sadar and Martin Smrekar

In October 2023, Slovenia will be the Guest of Honour of the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world's largest trade fair for books, under the slogan "A honeycomb of words". Originally scheduled to take place in Frankfurt the year before, the coronavirus epidemic has postponed the already announced guest of honour. Slovenia's exposure at the Frankfurt Book Fair is an opportunity to strengthen the export potential of national book creativity in the field of literature and illustration, and the effects of hosting the fair can be seen in both the cultural and tourism sectors. It would facilitate a long-term visibility and positioning of Slovenian authors and creativity in German-speaking countries, while the country's cultural and economic potential will become more recognisable globally.

Slovenian Book Agency is in charge of the project organisation. It has already intensified the translation of Slovenian books, mostly to German. The programme will be curated by Miha Kovač and Matthias Göritz.
