For Writing On \u2013 Europe<\/em>, authors living in exile in France, Sweden, Italy and Germany exchange literary letters. Here, we publish the correspon\u00addences of these authors, about their lives and experiences in European exile.<\/p>\n

„Europe is too valuable to be left to the Europeans.“ Inspired by these words by the Brazilian author Rafael Cardoso, we invited four tandems of authors to write letters, emails, direct messages or postcards to each other about their experiences.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of a new „litt\u00e9rature engag\u00e9e“, Europe Writing \u2013 On<\/em> investigates how authors who have had to leave their home countries and have found refuge in other European countries can use their stories to broaden the public discourse in Germany. How do they personally perceive the country \u2013 also against the background of their refugee experience \u2013 in times of inflation, war, pandemic and right-wing populism? And how do they express this in their artistic work?<\/p>\n

The idea of the literature site Weiter Schreiben<\/em> (Writing On) has followed a transnational approach from the very beginning. While initially working together with writers living in exile in Germany, Europe Writing \u2013 On<\/em> now carries the literary exchange further and opens itself up to Europe.<\/p>\n

All letters are translated from the original language (Arabic\/Persian) into German. The authors will present their literary correspondence at two readings in November and December 2022 at the Oyoun Cultural Centre in Berlin. More information and the exact dates will follow shortly.<\/p>\n

The pairs of correspondents are:<\/p>\n
