Climate activist authors led the way at the LiteratureXChange Literary Climate March. It started with fine readings by Carsten Jensen & Silja Henderson. Their literary climate collective 'Forfattere Ser Grønt' works closely with Extinction Rebellion. They were inspired by the UK climate group Writers Rebel. But wanted a softer name that was more culturally Danish. So they chose ‘Writers Seeing Green.’ In the sense: writers seeing red about the climate crisis.

A literary climate march as the official opening event of a literary festival. ‘It’s so bad even the introverts are here.’

Climate action and sustainability are the themes of the Aarhus lit fest LiteratureXChange. If you think it's just words, it isn't. Well it is, but not in the greenwashing way. Other events include ‘Catastrophe therapy & climate anxiety’, a ‘Can literature save the climate?’ conference, and 'the climate in literature' author talks.
