Admission NOK 150,- (Payable at the door) The inauguration of Donald Trump as US president has brought about significant changes in relations between the US and China. The Trump administration has taken a more confrontational approach, especially with regard to trade between the two countries, but also when it comes to the military presence in the South China Sea. Is all hope lost that the two superpowers can become friends? What consequences will that have for the rest of the world? Torbjørn Færøvik is an author and historian and has written twelve books about China and other countries in Asia. Before becoming a full-time author, he was a foreign affairs officer at NTB, Arbeiderbladet and NRK Radio. He has received the literary Brage Prize three times and the Cappelen Prize once.

Risør Wooden Boat Festival has been visited by 10-15,000 people every year since 1984 at the beginning of August. We are the meeting place for some of the world's most beautiful wooden boats. In addition, we promote coastal culture and traditional crafts in boats and construction. We have activities for all generations through a large program, both academic and social.

It's no wonder that people flock to Risør during the wooden boat festival, these are beautiful days with a fantastic atmosphere in the town, and the world's finest boats!
