Feminist readings and performances

Another Possible Story is a feminist reading and writing workshop hosted by Giuliana Kiersz. It started in 2023 and has since taken place in different art spaces and bookshops in Berlin, such as Hopscotch Reading Room, Co-Making Matters, and Lady Liberty Library, and it is currently at Lettrétage.

At the workshop, personal and collective texts are written inspired by feminist fiction and non-fiction. During the event, participants from the workshops will perform their poems, prose, songs and essays reflecting on language, love, politics, friendship, activism, and more.
