„ë“ mit Jehona Kicaj und „Und wir kamen jeden Sommer“ mit Elona Beqiraj

In the organizer's words:

Even if the war itself was not experienced, its traces are inscribed in family histories - in memories as well as in what remains unspoken. Between memory and forgetting, gaps and a speechlessness arise that is passed down through generations.

The works of Jehona Kicaj and Elona Beqiraj deal with the war in Kosovo, which ended over 25 years ago - but continues to have an impact to this day. Both authors are confronted with this past in different ways and ask themselves similar questions: What does this war mean for me and my family? And how does life take shape between different worlds - between your parents' origins and growing up in Germany, in search of your own identity?

We cordially invite you to a reading and discussion with the two authors Elona Beqiraj and Jehona Kicaj.
