What is reading pleasure? - A cultural context for creators with disabilities

What is reading pleasure?

- We want to highlight creators and writers with disabilities and create a cultural context for that target group. We at Daily Business 127 have seen that there is a need to elevate storytelling, and that it is connected to having power over one's own narrative.

Who is Läslust for?

- Anyone can come, but we have a clear focus on functionality, which is noticeable in the arrangements we highlight. Many people in our daily operations participate in the book fair, both with their own stuff and as participants. This will be a place where they can show their works.

Why is reading pleasure important?

- Culture and creativity should be for everyone, and not something where only a certain target group may be represented or have the opportunity to take part in the content. It can be about how premises are adapted or what type of communication is offered. We offer, among other things, reading aloud with sign language and interactive theatre.

Issama Karim and Ella Hagberg are both part of Daily operations in Bredäng and have been involved in the preparations for the book fair. Ella has planned activities and Issama is ready to help on stage during the festival itself.

What are you most looking forward to with Läslust?

- The whole thing. To try new things and to listen to authors. I hope I get good book recommendations, says Ella Hagberg.

Läslust takes place in Bredäng on 24–25 September 2026. Organizers are Bredäng's library and Daily activities 127, with support from the Culture Council.
