Ukraine will participate in the 55th Brussels Book Fair (Foire du Livre de Bruxelles), which will take place from March 26 to 29 in Belgium, according to the Ukrainian Book Institute (UBI).

Ukrainian publications will be featured in the booth’s bookstore (Librairie européenne). And on Friday, March 27, there will be a discussion on the various levels of ‘translation’ of the Ukrainian experience—between the military and civilians, the post-totalitarian East and West, the languages of culture and politics—as well as on how to interpret one’s own history for an international audience,” the UIB statement reads.
It is noted that on March 27, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., a public discussion in French titled “Traduire le présent, défier le futur” will take place at the Place à l’Europe venue. Participants in the event include: veteran, writer, and translator Pavlo Matyusha; journalist and writer (Georgia), winner of the 2025 European Union Prize for Literature, Tea Topuria; Marilyn Josephson, international policy advisor to the President of the European Council and diplomat; Mykyta Moskaliuk, program and international project curator at the “Frontiera” Literary Platform (moderator).
Participants at the Brussels Book Fair include: Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski (“The Witcher”), French prose writer and playwright Philippe Besson (“Stop Your Fantasies”), Belgian writers Amélie Nothomb and Caroline Lamarche (finalist for the Goncourt Prize), and many others.
