The inaugural Nordic Exposure festival is scheduled to take place in Bucharest from September 16 to 20, 2026. The event focuses on Nordic literature translated into Romanian and aims to facilitate dialogue between authors, translators, editors, and readers.

The festival is organized into two primary sections: Nordic Special and Nordic Forum. Nordic Special utilizes literature to address contemporary societal themes such as identity, history, and ‘hygge’. The Nordic Forum provides a networking platform for professionals in the Romanian book industry and the Nordic literary community.

Programmed activities include a discussion by Finnish author Sofi Oksanen on post-communist European identities, a roundtable regarding Scandinavian design in Bucharest, and a session with Annette Bjergfeldt concerning the reading experience.
