This publication includes contributions from 10 writers who joined Taidetila Muijala’s writing residency program in collaboration with The Temporary Bookshelf, during the winter of 2024–2025.
“Licking the Moonlight” is an ode to the time spent together and a way to share its fruits. United by their embodied experience of the Finnish winter in nature, the writers capture a sense of interrelatedness and soft skills. This publication invites you to take time to connect and is a reminder that sensitivity is key, our utmost power to be cherished and cultivated.
Authors: Georgia Kareola, Yidan Karel Li, Carlotta Ortinger, Katarína Poliačiková, Maryam Shahidifar, Laura Suurhasko, Mimma Tuomisalo, Catharina Vergeer, Anne Marijn Voorhorst, Sophie Wright.
