Activities and Events

Sølvberget is a venue for participation and critical debate, for community building, learning and exploration of cultural expressions. Check out our activities and events.

Below is an overview of what you can experience at Sølvberget. You can find an updated programme of all events and activities in Sølvberget's Calendar - Hva Skjer?

Literature, Debate, Freedom of Expression

Sølvberget organises a diversity of events of literature and poetry through social debates, book talks, writer conversations, lectures, workshops, concerts - you name it! Two important platforms are Kapittel and the Kielland Centre.

The Kielland Center works to cultivate literature, reading and writing in the region, and attempts to demonstrate how literature and art can act as social criticism and serve as tools for exercising power and political influence. With a variety of events, from philosophy cafes and poetry for youth to lectures, school visits and much more, the Kielland Centre has become a meeting place for debate and exchange of opinions. 

Kapittel, Stavanger International Festival of Literature and Freedom of Speech, is an annual literature festival organised by Sølvberget Library and Culture House for a week every September. Kapittel is the second largest literature festival in Norway and maintains a strong focus on international literature and social issues, in particular freedom of expression.

Films
