What does it mean for a person to lose their home? What does it mean to have to live in exile? It has been ten years since Ece Temulkuran left her home country, Turkey, behind. born in Izmir in 1973, she is a lawyer, writer, journalist and critic of the regime - her voice is heard internationally, her texts have won awards. But Turkey is lost to her. During the coup in 2016, she fled into exile. First Zagreb, then Hamburg, today she lives in Berlin.

Ece Temelkuran resists the way she is seen as an exile. She no longer wants to be the persecuted, intellectual innocent who fled fascism in her home country. Because our world is changing so much, full of upheavals and crises, that we are all alienated and estranged. Temelkuran believes that it is precisely this feeling that can unite us in the future. For her, we are a "nation of strangers".

The reading will be in German, the discussion with Ece Temelkuran in English.
