Frohes Festival: Das politische und literarische Festival

In the organizer's words:

A happy festival in times of crisis?

Especially now.

It is more important than ever to be political, to get involved and to seek dialog. By respectfully coming together with fantastic authors, committed activists and clever journalists, we celebrate literature, people and different perspectives at the "Frohes Festival"!

On November 22 and 23, we are organizing the political & literary "Frohe Festival" at silent green Berlin . For the second time, we will be presenting great newcomers, well-known authors and artists to discuss current socio-political topics as part of the two-day festival. Whether in panel talks, the popular ZEIT podcasts, readings and other formats - you can expect the following people on stage, among others:

René Aguigah Amina Aziz Fabian Bernhardt Melanie Büttner Peter Dausend Daniel Gumbiner Ileana Grabitz Dilan Gropengiesser Jouanna Hassoun Alice Hasters Ciani-Sophia Hoeder Lara Hulo Rachel Intervention Hanna Israel Natasha A.
