Zeilen gegen das Unbehage

In the organizer's words:

We have the author Diana Dua with us for a reading from her book Die Zeilen gegen das Unbehagen. Die Zeilen is an ongoing collection of poetic microtexts and short stories that reflect personal experiences of racism, otherness and identity. They are full of rich imagery, language games and surprising turns of phrase. Their tonality moves between sober precision and poetic playfulness. The lines are intended to take listeners on a journey that touches them and makes them think. Above all, however, they invite you to look at the world from an open perspective. Four short stories and 23 microtexts found their way into her own book.
"Diana Dua's active stance against racism today has specific personal reasons. She has repeatedly experienced situations in which she herself has been discriminated against - e.g. at the gym or when looking for an apartment. For a long time, she was unaware of how much these experiences had shaped her. At some point, she began to work through these experiences - which she did by writing. Today, she uses her voice to make these issues more visible. During readings, she not only shares her texts, but also creates space for exchange. Also for others who feel the same way."(Hamburg Magazine)
