Corobca joins writers Fabio Andina (Switzerland) and Marjun Syderbø Kjelnæs (Faroe Islands) for Personal Histories, a panel chaired by broadcaster and artist Bidisha Mamata at the British Library. Bringing together three distinct literary voices, the event transforms personal memory into gripping narratives of history, offering rare insight into three lesser-known European regions — Moldova, Ticino, and the Faroe Islands — through stories that are at once intimate and deeply unsettling.
