Die andere Lesung (The Other Reading) is a new literary event, a lab, a date, a gathering—a space for poetry and exchange, for reflection. At the same time, it's a space for the diversity of voices, translations, and interpretations.
The experience of being together is carefully planned, the shared time is marked, and eating together is celebrated—the focus is on encounters and exchanges among all those present. An artistic-literary listening session, embedded in a collective picnic; an extended gathering filled with diverse perspectives.
