September 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of the case of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa who were abducted in 2014, which attracted sad attention in Mexico and internationally. Ayotzinapa is considered a symbol of violence and a lack of education - but it also stands for a cross-border dialog in art, literature and media. Dr. Jenny Augustin (Romance Studies at Heinrich Heine University) is taking this anniversary as an opportunity to hold a Spanish-German discussion with the Mexican poet and journalist María Teresa Montaño Delgado. The discussion will focus on human rights, developments in recent years and the work of Montaño Delgado, who is currently a PEN Germany Writers-in-Exile fellow.
