Dear Karina,
Thank you for sharing this superb article. It captures the spirit of the festival exactly and you have highlighted such special moments and conversations. I love your photographs too and am thrilled to see the one of Lisa and myself up there.
I am still so excited by the beautiful (and powerful) presence that Karavan Press had at this OBF, and I know that many other people noticed it too.
What a year 2023 has been so far … and it’s not over yet!
Much love, Gail x
