Ost*IWest*IFrau*

Presenting a transgenerational, feminist snapshot: How is our woman*hood related to differences between East and West? Artists, authors and novelists with a GDR and a FRG past, will meet on the stage to discuss German history from a many-voiced and subjective perspective. Characterizations, mis/attributions and stories told on the basis of their own biographies and intimate points of view. Shared in conversation and through new writings and texts.

8 pm Readings and talk:

Terézia Mora (Muna oder die Hälfte des Lebens) and Katja Kullmann (Stell dich nicht so an!)

Writer Terézia Mora meets author Katja Kullmann. 35 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the texts of the two authors, one born in Sopron/Hungary in 1971, the other born in Bad Homburg in 1970, link the sphere of the intimate and private with political contexts. How does growing up in different social systems shape our sexuality, motherhood and love life?
