Writing is a very solitary activity. Publishing, on the other hand, involves an anonymous mass of people: the so-called audience. Who is it? What does it want? How can you protect yourself from it? Or rather: how can you free yourself from it and with it? In this lecture, Fatma Aydemir wants to get to the bottom of the question of which gazes we expose our work to and what these gazes do to our work. There will be time for questions afterwards.
Fatma Aydemir is a writer and journalist. Her debut novel "Ellbogen" was published in 2017, and in 2019 she published the essay collection "Eure Heimat ist unser Albtraum" together with Hengameh Yaghoobifarah. Her second novel "Dschinns" was published in 2022 and has been translated into over 15 languages. In 2023, her play "Doktormutter Faust" premiered at Schauspiel Essen. She is co-editor of the literary magazine Delfi and a columnist for the British daily newspaper Guardian.
This event is part of the series Schlaglichter, which is organized by the Class for Multidimensional Strategies in collaboration with Katja Kottmann (Basic Class Visual Arts). It is aimed at all those interested in the Kunsthochschule and the University of Kassel.
