During the Helsinki Book Fair this past October, I had the opportunity of meeting one of the most acclaimed and internationally awarded authors from the Nordic countries. A woman who dedicates her time to narrating the human struggle through her stories, and using her voice to highlight issues of importance to us all, such as freedom of speech, LGBT rights and feminism.

Sofi Oksanen is an Estonian/Finnish author, whose latest book "The Dog Park" discusses how corruption affects the lives of ordinary people. In this conversation, she shares her writing process and objectives, what moves her, and why she is so actively involved in public debate on current issues.

On the eve of the Helsinki book fair, the president of the Finnish PEN joined the Red Transmissions podcast for this conversation.

Unofficially nicknamed "The Indiana Jones of Playwright", Veera Tyhtilä is a multitalented writer, playwright and screenplay writer, essayist and poet, with over 15 plays and films released in Finland.

We discuss the importance of free expression and free media in the political and financial atmosphere of the world right now, and what role the more fortunate countries have in defense of those who cannot speak up.

A poet, graphic designer and multimedia artist originary from Mexico and residing in Finland, Daniel Malpica joins the Red Transmissions to discuss the very current matters that affect creators in transition, many of them migrants in need of visibilization, and what he's doing to help... and to cope with the situation creatively himself.

The X character has become a sygil in his work and identity, because to him it represents the crossing of paths, moving through literary forms, and defining one's identity in the process.
