WRITING IDENTITIES

when gender blurs in a poem my world sets a tooth in the gear

Kuppelhalle | 9/7 € Tickets

Writing Identities centers around four poets from different countries who have made a break with traditional gender roles and have found innovative language to do so. With tremendous powers of imagination, they create new modes to express marginalized perspectives and experiences while questioning familiar patterns, ascriptions, modes of representation and presentation, perception, and interpretive authority.
