QFWF Wisdom Collection — Wild Hair (e-)books
From the artistic, philosophical and spiritual treasures of wisdom drawn from different corners of the world and the personal reflections and wisdom of the QFWF authors, a colorful series will arise in the coming years.
The QFWF Wisdom Collection arose from the wisdom of QFWF authors with ‘wild hairs’ and a passion to share their interests. The QFWF authors unlock the richness of cultures worldwide through their stories, music, visual arts, philosophical and spiritual traditions in their own way to a wide readership. They show wisdom from the North, the South, the East and the West from a broad perspective, in multi-faceted and artistic forms. More in depth studies that highlight specific aspects and artistic wisdom from cultural traditions will also soon appear in the QFWF Wisdom Collection.
These (e-)books are published in the Dutch and/or English language; and sometimes also multilingual. The proceeds from these (e-)books will entirely benefit this program and future QFWF projects. We hope for a broad and interested audience for this entire varied series.
The first three books in the QFWF Wisdom Collection will appear in a physical form, partly thanks to a subsidy awarded by the Dutch Cultural Participation Fund (ngo) in 2023 for the ‘QFWF Global Citizenship from the Street program’.
