I am two worlds: Reading and conversation with Suleman Taufiq (Berlin)

Reading and conversation with Rasha Habbal, Adel Karasholi und Suleman Taufiq moderated by Barbara Wahlster.

"I am two worlds” – this is how Suleman Taufiq formulates the answer to frequently asked questions: What is home? What is arriving in a foreign country?

Political persecution, war, the hope of finding a new home and of security drives people away from where they live. Or curiosity and love for another culture. The ideas about the new place are as diverse or compelling as the reasons for migration.

For authors and poets, the artists of the language, the conditions are special: is it possible to keep readers in the mother tongue from abroad? Are you gaining a new language and a new audience? How do you find entry into an unknown literary establishment, access to publishers?

The three authors talk to Barbara Wahlster about arriving, writing and publishing in the new country: about what is lost in the process and what might be gained.

The event will be interpreted from Arabic to German.
