queer.lit!: Schreibwerkstatt mit Jutta Reichelt & Zeichenworkshop mit Lee Doubleu

Please register with Jutta Reichelt at juttareichelt@posteo.de

This workshop is aimed at anyone who would like to try out both writing and drawing. We want to be inspired for writing by drawings in progress and for drawing by texts that have just been written - and then we'll see if and how they could go together. Anyone who is keen to experiment and enjoys working together is very welcome. No previous knowledge is necessary to take part!

This year there are also two open dates (without registration) for Queer Schreiben: Against the Norm!(28.06. and 12.10.2025), which are an invitation to question and undermine norms and conventions through writing and thus to get to know writing as a self-empowering and resistant means of expression. There will be the opportunity to write on a queer alphabet ("Queer from A-Z") or to pursue other impulses (including your own!) through writing. In addition to and after writing, there will be an opportunity for exchange and reading aloud, for questions and support.

Participants of the writing workshops can present their texts at the queer reading stage on 04.12.2025 in the Lagerhaus cultural center.

Jutta Reichelt (1967) is a writer and storyteller based in Bremen. She writes novels, short stories, literary essays, blogs about writing stories and runs writing workshops. Her texts have won several awards, including the Würth Prize of the Tübingen Poetry Lectureship in 2001, for which Herta Müller gave the laudatory speech. In 2015, the novel Wiederholte Verdächtigungen was published by Klöpfer & Meyer (Tübingen), in 2020 the literary portrait volume Blaumeier oder der Möglichkeitssinn (Bremen). For her work on Mein Leben war nicht, wie es war, she received the Literature Project Grant from the Bremen Senator for Culture in 2020. The novel was published by Kröner Verlag in 2024.

Lee Doubleu draws, paints and writes in Bremen. As a volunteer, Lee leads a monthly drawing meeting as part of a team. His own artistic work is currently focused on sketches, illustrations and watercolors for a solo exhibition in the summer. In January, an issue of the literary magazine Bremen was published with one of Lee's illustrations on the cover. Lee mixes drawing and writing when creating character designs for characters from self-written texts. Most recently, the short story Der Hobby-Friedhof was published in an anthology by ohneohren Verlag in Austria.
