200 Jahre Braille-Schrift: Dunkellesung und Gespräch

In the organizer's words:

Anja Lehmann reads from "Eine Fingerkuppe Freiheit" by Thomas Zwerina

This year marks the 200th anniversary of Braille. To mark the occasion, Anja Lehman will be reading from the Braille book "Eine Fingerkuppe Freiheit" by author Thomas Zwerina in the dark and then also in the light. The book is about the eventful life of Louis Braille, the inventor of Braille. She will also read from a self-penned homage to Louis Braille.

Following the reading, Anja Lehmann and Caroline Schürer from the German Center for Accessible Reading (dzb lesen) will present interesting facts about Braille and Braille notes. They will also talk about the center's special library and services and present tactile children's books, among other things.

In cooperation with dzb lesen

Materials and media from dzb lesen for blind and visually impaired people will be on display.

Anja Lehmann is a freelance interpreter and translator for German, English and Spanish. She is blind and works as a proofreader for dzb lesen.

Caroline Schürer is a qualified librarian and works for dzb lesen. She is the project coordinator for "Chance Inklusion", a collaboration between public libraries and dzb lesen.
