Portraying War: A Reading with Ronya Othmann and Ela Pour in BERLIN GLOBAL
Ronya Othmann und Ela Pour – Zwei Porträts von Frauen: eine mit roten Lippen und Brille, die andere mit den Händen im Gesicht vor schwarzem Hintergrund.

How can we speak about war – with images, with words? And how can experiences of violence and loss be conveyed?
The reading at BERLIN GLOBAL accompanies the Open Space exhibition “Dara Tûyê – درخت توت – The Mulberry Tree”, which brings together feminist voices on war and gardens and highlights solidarity networks among women reaching across geographical and political borders. The exhibition presents gardens as places of remembrance, healing and empowerment – but also of resistance against oppression and violence.
Against this backdrop, two artistic voices meet:
Ronya Othmann reads from her texts “Seventy‑Four” and “Return to Syria”, in which she writes about the war in Syria and the genocide of the Êzidî people. She traces the marks these events leave on people and landscapes. Her literature weaves together personal memories and political realities, opening direct and compelling insights.
Ela Pour brings a lyrical and visual perspective. In her autobiographical book project, created together with other tattoo artists, she explores the images that experiences of war and resistance evoke, and how these can be expressed artistically. Her work shows art as a form of affirmation and healing, making stories visible in new ways.
Boussa Thiam moderates the evening and invites both artists to reflect together on how war can be narrated – through literature and imagery.
Info: The event is held in German.
