NACHT DER VIELFALT

An inspiring night full of literature and culture from the African diaspora at StadtPalais - Museum für Stuttgart. The event is dedicated to the art of writing and being black from an intercultural perspective.

The authors Emilia Roig and Josephine Apraku will talk to moderator Ridal Carel Tchoukuegno about their writing process as Black authors and present a work that is particularly important to them. The starting point is a sentence by Emilia Roig: "Even as a child, I internalized that my father does the more important work." This gives rise to the central question: how deep do power structures reach into our most intimate relationships - and can art really liberate us? Roig sheds light on intersectionality and social justice, while Apraku questions rigid gender roles and understands love as a political act. Together, they will discuss how social conditions shape life and love.

Afterwards, drinks, Afro-diasporic literature, DJ AfroPunk and a spectacular special guest will provide a program reminiscent of the cultural traditions of many African communities.
