Kitchen Table Reading
Join us for an evening of readings by members of Kitchen Table, a Berlin-based writing group named in homage to the 1980s US feminist women-of-colour press. Founded in 2022 by critic and historian of science Edna Bonhomme, the group meets monthly to read, write, share resources, support one another, and reflect — often with joy and humour — on what it means to be a writer in difficult times. Working across genres, Kitchen Table members will share excerpts from works in progress and previously published pieces.
