Helene Grøn (Denmark)

Helene Grøn is a Danish writer and theatre researcher, and currently the guest of Tartu UNESCO City of Literature residency programme. She is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on literature and theatre in the context of exile and migration. Her creative work explores the connections between place, borders, memory, and landscapes. She has written plays, librettos, and short stories and has participated in various interdisciplinary art projects. Her work written for performance has been produced, e.g. by Scottish Opera, and my facilitation and co-writing work on issues of asylum and migration has been exhibited, e.g. at the Documenta15 Festival and with the VisAvis Magazine. I continue to work on these tracks – publishing of individual works, librettos and collaborative writing and performance projects, community work and academic research.
