A pretzel, a word. Deutschlandfunk Kultur invites you to a live radio show from the Humboldt Forum in Berlin. Join us as we welcome a prominent guest from the worlds of culture, science, media or politics to the Mechanical Arena.
Have an engaging conversation together about the issues of our time. Chat, argue or think out loud together. Here you can experience radio up close, watch and join in the discussion. An engaging conversation about the issues of the day, broadcast throughout Germany, made in the new old center of Berlin, in the Humboldt Forum.
To this day, Alice Schwarzer is both revered and vilified. Since the 1970s, the journalist has been the face of the women’s movement in Germany. She initiated the cover story “We Had Abortions” in STERN, founded EMMA, and to date has written more than 40 books, including biographies of Romy Schneider and Marion Dönhoff. Pure feminism.
99 Words is the title of Alice Schwarzer’s current book. It addresses topics such as abortion, gender‑inclusive language, and sexism. There is also a chapter on handbags. What does that have to do with feminism? She said she wanted to include “something light” in the book. In addition, she owns “a striking number of handbags.”
- free of charge
- from 11.50 am to 1 pm (start of the live broadcast at 12.05 pm)
- Language: German
- Location: Mechanical arena in the foyer
The Humboldt Forum and its facilities are wheelchair-accessible. A tactile floor guidance system makes it easier for blind and visually impaired visitors to find their way around. Educational formats are tailored to the different needs of visitors with disabilities. These include tactile tours, guided tours & workshops interpreted into German Sign Language (DGS), as well as guided tours for and with people with learning difficulties.
