Die Hildesheimer Poetikvorlesung hält Kateryna Mishchenko.

In the organizer's words:

The Hildesheim Poetry Lecture is a cooperation between the Literaturhaus St. Jakobi and the Literature Institute of the University of Hildesheim Foundation. Every semester, we jointly invite an author to talk to us about their creative process. In this way, we want to make the often interdisciplinary work processes of established writers accessible and their materials, their approach and their thoughts on the literary industry tangible. To offer a stage for thinking about textual and social work.

Following guests such as Doris Dörrie, Hannes Bajohr, Mara Genschel and most recently Mithu Sanyal, we welcome Kateryna Mishchenko to the fourteenth edition.
The Ukrainian editor, translator and publisher curates events at the interface of art and politics, writes essays and now works for the Federal Agency for Civic Education, among others.

The evening will focus on the volume "Geteilter Horizont. The future of Ukraine".
The anthology brings together frontline reports, literary essays, academic analyses and personal reflections that tell of war, exhaustion, trauma and resistance. Of everyday life, loss and hope in the midst of a war of attrition that has already lasted four years. The 15 contributions show how it is possible to combat the dangers of numbness and lethargy - and how experiences from Ukraine also raise questions about Europe's future and our understanding of democracy and society. In line with our season motto WACHEN, we reflect on which values need to be preserved and defended right now.

We invite you to a poetry lecture on writing as a resistant practice. And to engage with these touching and thought-provoking perspectives on literature, war and social change.
