Opening Remarks

3:05 p.m.
Reading & talk
Susanne Schädlich will present her story "Teufelskreis" from the short story collection Der Westen: eine ostdeutsche Empfindung (2026). In conversation with the book's editor, Cornelia Geißler, she will discuss East-West German sentiments, memories, as well as observations and explore whether the labels "East" and "West" have become mere codes for an outdated culture war.

3:45 p.m.
Presentation & lecture
Taslima Ahmed will hold an artist talk about her creative process and painting exclusively through technological means. For her series "Non-Analogue Paintings," the British-German artist repurposed an industrial printer to build up layers that mimic painterly textures, impasto, and thick brushstrokes. This segment will be complemented by a lecture on art and artificial intelligence by media artist Manuel Gnam.

4:30 p.m.
Performance
Hyunju Oh, an installation and performance artist from South Korean, will perform her piece Pain, unspecified (2019). In this solo performance, she utilizes the specific properties of various materials to create a metaphor for pain that defies specification.

Free admission
