On December 20th, the second edition of „Girl, show me that body (of work)“ will present a Christmas special where 6 migrant FLINTA* authors, artists and performers will put on literary readings and performative poetry.
In the event series „Girl, Show Me That Body (of Work)“, literature is an intimate room for reflection and an instrument of political-social activism, an artistic medium, and an attempt to communicate across heteronormative barriers. Above all, literature is a space for encounters beyond pigeonholing and mechanisms of exclusion. It provokes conversations about inclusion, diversity, and belonging in an open society, enabling people to dialogue respectfully. The event is curated by the Romanian author and journalist Ioana Cristina Casapu, who has been intensively researching and working with migrant womxn in Germany for ten years.
To mark the occasion, we have spoken with Ioana Cristina Casapu about the background of the event series, the selection of people featured in the upcoming issue, and her and their advice for young womxn writers in Berlin.
