We talk about systems, connections, how things have always been and whether they still need to be so. Strong feelings, categories, patriarchy and power. Hate, love, what else?

We extend a warm welcome to Şeyda Kurt. She writes and talks about politics, philosophy and left feminism. As an editor, she worked for the Spotify Original Podcast “190220 – Ein Jahr nach Hanau” (190220 – One year after Hanau), which won the Grimme Online Award. April 2021 saw the release of her debut non-fiction bestseller “Radikale Zärtlichkeit – Warum Liebe politisch ist” (Radical Tenderness – Why Love is Political) and March 2023 the experimental essay and bestseller “Hass - Von der Macht eines widerständigen Gefühls” (Hate – On the Power of a Resistant Emotion).

We also welcome the Luxembourgish author Florence Sunnen. Her writing explores the strangeness of being human in a constantly changing and unreliable environment. Florence Sunnen published “Archetypes”, a collection of 21 character portraits, with Zagava Publishing in 2019. In 2021, she returned to her home town of Luxembourg, where she works as a writer, teacher and translator.

The evening will be presented and curated by Luc Spada, and DJ Kwistax will provide the right beats on the turntables. Plus a themed cocktail and the literature of writers Şeyda Kurt and Florence Sunnen.
