They embark on an archaeological quest: the authors Daniel Schreiber, Yirgalem Fisseha Mebrahtu, Senthuran Varatharajah, Caca Savic, Ulrike Draesner and Christian Dittloff, the artistic collectives Mikro-kit and PS – Politisch Schreiben as well as the performance artist Ella Zwietnig and the poet and musician Sam Zamrik. Their texts and performances expose personal losses, which can be a person, an identity, a gender, a political system, a culture, a homeland or a matter of course.

From October 14-16, 2022, their fragments will be presented for the first time, in readings and conversations, in performances and workshops. In the live podcast „endlich“ Susann Brückner and Caro Kraft talk with Linus Giese. In the open online text „Lost and found“ everyone is invited to take part online.

To open our literary archaeology, the authors Daniel Schreiber and Yirgalem Fisseha Mebrahtu explore their experiences of loss of close people. Their texts explore their feelings, thoughts, and observations. Everything is a mesh that radiates from their own person. It is also: a look into the mirror, into the past.
