Eure Heimat ist unser Albtraum

In the organizer's words:

Together with the Lower Saxony State Center for Political Education, Universen invites you to a reading from the essay collection Eure Heimat ist unser Albtraum (Your homeland is our nightmare) on March 9 - a good two weeks after the federal elections.

How does it feel to be perceived as a "threat" on a daily basis? How much trust is left in the security authorities after the NSU scandal? What does it mean to have to justify yourself in every crisis in the name of your entire home country or your parents' religious affiliation? And how does racism affect sexuality?
Eure Heimat ist unser Albtraum is a manifesto against Heimat - an ethnically glorified concept whose normalization 14 German-speaking authors are fighting against. To mark the first anniversary of the so-called "Heimatministerium", Fatma Aydemir and Hengameh Yaghoobifarah collect unsparing perspectives on a racist and anti-Semitic society. In personal essays, they provide an insight into their everyday lives and hold up a mirror to Germany: a country that sees itself as an exemplary democracy and at the same time marks some of its members as "different" and hardly protects or values them.
With contributions by Sasha Marianna Salzmann, Sharon Dodua Otoo, Max Czollek, Mithu Sanyal, Margarete Stokowski, Olga Grjasnowa, Reyhan Şahin, Deniz Utlu, Simone Dede Ayivi, Enrico Ippolito, Nadia Shehadeh, Vina Yun, Hengameh Yaghoobifarah and Fatma Aydemir.
