The Black Lives Matter movement has shaken society and driven forward change. Also in Germany. But black FLINTA (female, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans, agender) who live in Germany rarely see themselves and their own stories represented. 20 Black FLINTAs tell intimately and relentlessly what their reality is like in this country and what goals and future visions they dream of. In their texts they break with stereotypes, encourage rethinking and create a space for their own identities.

For the 25th anniversary of May Ayim's death
- New inspirations of the young generation... It has been five years since the first edition of the anthology "Sisters and Souls" was published in honour of May Ayim. A lot has happened since then. The result is, for example, the empowerment theater series “M(a)y Sister”, which builds directly on the publication by processing community-relevant topics performatively and bringing them to the stage. The need for Black spaces is growing steadily, and with it the interest in the Afro-German scientist and activist May Ayim. This year we are commemorating the 25th anniversary of May Ayim's death with a new edition of Sisters and Souls, because her work lives on, in her works and our visions. Editor(s): Natasha A. Kelly With an afro-futuristic short story by Tessa Hart: Safiyahs Träume Language: German | Publicaton date: 4th August 2021 |
