Highlights from the Award Ceremony 2023

During a grand evening at the Stockholm Concert Hall, on May 2, we celebrated the 2023 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award Laureate - Laurie Halse Anderson. The award was presented by H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.
The evening was also the start of IFACCA 9th World Summit on Arts and Culture 2023, which took place in Stockholm May 3-5. Riksteatern (Sweden's National Touring Theatre) had created a rich artistic programme, with inspiration from the Summit theme Safeguarding Artistic Freedom, which is also mirrored in the work of Laurie Halse Anderson.
The host of the evening was Josette Bushell-Mingo. With performances by Lindy Larsson, Sofia Jannok, Rana Mansour, Cullberg and Teater 16.
