Sargasso is a publication from Österlens Kulturbank. It determinedly sets a compass point in Simrishamn and draws a circle around a large part of Scandinavia and Europe. This circle forms the basis of the Sargasso calender of events, and erases the image of Österlen as an idyllic, peripheral backwater. On the contrary we find ourselves in a centre of cultural events which are in no way bound to national borders or cultural capitals. Berlin/Brantevik/Brösarp/Brussels. Why not! For thousands of years the Atlantic eel has had the same instinctive idea. Therefore the name Sargasso. Every two months during 1998.
