Literatursommer 2026: Wir stellen das Patriarchat vor Gericht – mit unseren Geschichten

In the organizer's words:

Public court hearing

The patriarchy is sued for damages in a public court hearing. The accusation is based on texts written in a writing workshop for women. These texts - in the form of indictments and witness statements - impressively show how patriarchy impairs the opportunities, rights and integrity of women in various areas of life. At the end, the audience will reach a verdict and decide whether the patriarchy must pay compensation and which projects the money should go towards. The evening event invites all interested parties to engage with this important social issue and actively participate in the discussion.

An event of the Literature Summer 2026 of the Baden-Württemberg Foundation
