Tupoka Ogette: At Home Anyway

Description

»This is how my story begins. As the daughter of a white woman and a black man. Between southern Tanzania and Thuringia, between colonial past and GDR dictatorship.« In Trotzdem zuhause (At Home Anyway), Tupoka Ogette talks about growing up as a black child in the GDR, about loss and new beginnings, about violence, love, and self-empowerment. Between Thuringia and Kreuzberg, she talks about life in between and how belonging, resilience, and new perspectives can emerge. A personal, honest conversation about society, cohesion, and the question of what it means to be at home despite everything. An evening to listen, reflect, and think ahead.

The reading will be held in German.
