Steampunkfestivalen / Swecon 2014

Sveriges Järnvägsmuseum, Saturday, June 28, 2014 at 1pm

Steampunkfestivalen – som samtidigt är 2014 års Swecon – äger rum mellan den 27 och 29 juni 2014 på Sveriges Järnvägsmuseum i Gävle. Festivalen startar kl. 17.00 på fredagen och slutar 17.00 på söndagen. Vi vill göra den här festivalen till ett speciellt, kanske unikt, tillfälle att kombinera teknik, historia, gör det själv-, pyssel- och hantverkskultur, och fantastikens möjligheter att tänja på gränserna för det vi är vana vid.

Men framför allt vill vi göra det till en mötesplats för gemensamma passioner, och för sådana intressen som kanske inte har så mycket överlapp men som kan fungera som klangbotten för varandra.

Hedergäster: Cory Doctorow, Mike Perschon, Miriam Rosenberg Roček, Chris Wooding. Fler gäster: Anders Blixt, Elin Holmerin, Nene Ormes, Steven Savile, Karin Tidbeck, Ola Wikander. (anglemark)… (more)

Short biography

From Cory Doctorow himself "Writers always ask if I'm related to award-winning novelist E.L. Doctorow. The answer is "probably." Family legend has it that my paternal grandfather's uncle is E.L.'s grandfather. My folks met E.L. in 1998 and tried this theory out on him, and he said that it sounded about right, but didn't seem very excited by it." -- http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_Cory_Doct...
