Reading with Elona Beqiraj: „und wir kamen jeden Sommer“
Elona Beqiraj was born in 1997. Her parents come from Kosovo. Elona Beqiraj grew up in Germany. She has written a book called: und wir kamen jeden Sommer. Her book is about people who say: I am between two worlds. I feel torn back and forth and a stranger in both worlds. How does war and moving to another country change a family? Do you remain torn apart in the new place forever? Or can you arrive? In the new country. Perhaps in a new home? And with a person or with yourself?
The reading will take place at: Toros Restaurant, Bohmter Straße 13 A, 49074 Osnabrück
This event is part of the project Aşbildung by Slavs and Tatars. The artists Slavs and Tatars transform the outdoor area of a restaurant. It will become a meeting place. In accordance with the corona restrictions. But you can meet, exchange, talk, read, and eat together. You can watch and listen to artists from Osnabrück. The event series is developed by curator Bêriya (Özlem) Susan, supported by Hana Ćurak. The events are about these topics: What does home mean to me? Where is my home? Where is my family’s home? What culture do I come from? And in which culture do I live now? Do I long for a home? How may I show myself? Do I belong? What is normal? What pressures do I experience?
