AUGUST EXPEDITION AND SEPTEMBER LOKOFON
The rural readers expedition team are preparing for the next excursion into the unknown. In the end of august we will travel from Kirkenes through various northern areas of Finland and Russia. This will all culminate in the Lokofon in Kirkenes on the 4.-6. september. The Lokofon is a musical jouney with the last locomotive of the northermost railroad in the world. Artists Phonophani, Biosphere and Anton Nikkilä will endow the train journey Kirkenes-Bjørnevatn-Kirkenes with specially composed pieces performed live during the trip. The goal of it all is to open politicians and peoples eyes to the power of the railroad, and stop the plans in progress for shutting down the line for good! More news will be posted on this page in the weeks ahead and as a jouney log during the project so stay posted!

SULTANESQUE HORIZONS
ANKARA: What is Anatolia? This is the keyquestion of a travel RR does in th?s moment. We're  in the central parts of Turkey. RR is now partly gathered where the ottoman aspects of alfabet and scripture still is alive. Though the socalled saviour Atatürk transformed the language into modernism and european letters still the sultanesque horizon is alive. Reading Anatolia is reading a unique sultanesque transformation.
