With Maroula Blades, Dean Ruddock, Giorgio Ferretti, Son Lewandowski

MaroulaBlades is an interdisciplinary artist. In June 2023 she received a grant from the British Society of Authors Foundation for her in-progress novella "Road Eggs".

Dean Ruddock writes poetry, spoken word and prose, makes sound art, music and poetry films. Artistically, he is particularly interested in the topic of memory and the transfer of texts into other media, but also the intersection of socio-political issues and artistic perspectives on these. He pays particular attention to post-migrant and post-colonial themes. Most recently, he published his short story "pareidolie" in the anthology "Resonanzen" edited by Sharon Dodua Otoo.

Giorgio Ferretti is an author and editor based in Leipzig. He studied literature and cultural studies in Italy and Germany and literary writing at the German Literature Institute in Leipzig. In 2023, he won the SchreibZeit scholarship from the Lower Saxony Foundation and the WORTMELDUNGEN award. In 2024, he received the Styria Artist-in-Residence Scholarship in Graz. He is editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Edit.

She has written literary and cultural journalistic texts for BELLA triste, Edit, Kabeljau & Dorsch, 54books - Feuilleton im Internet and taz, among others. As co-founder of "INSERT FEMALE ARTIST", she initiated the literary festival of the same name for feminist voices, works as a literary organizer and runs the literary politics podcast "temporär & prekär" with Svenja Reiner.
