»Beschütz' mich weiter als du schreiben kannst« von Anna Gohmert und Cy Linke

Lecture performance as part of the literature festival by Anna Gohmert and Cy Linke - "Protect me further than you can write"

"Protect me further than you can write" is an exchange of letters by artists Anna Gohmert and Cy Linke about safe spaces, bodies and threats. Gohmert writes from the cis-female perspective of a care-taker, Linke from a queer non-binary trans* perspective. The correspondence takes place in the spring of 2025 and deals with political developments at the time, their experiences of survival and the protective spaces and threats to literature:

Can literature be a shelter? When does literature become a threat and for whom? Is writing a luxury because it requires temporary safe spaces? And if this is the case, how do we relate to the discrepancies between lived experiences and the texts that are found about shelters, bodies and threats?

The lecture performance is sponsored by the LBBW Foundation and the Marli Hoppe Ritter Foundation

Aimed primarily at adults
Duration: 75 minutes + closing with bar until 11 pm
