Felix Nussbaum (1904-1944) symbolises the artistic processing of the Holocaust in Germany like almost no other painter. The 25th anniversary of the Felix Nussbaum House provided the occasion to consider works by the Jewish painter in a dialogue with current artistic positions. This book brings together texts by nine authors, including essays on Felix Nussbaum's art in the context of modernism, on the possibilities of artistic resistance and today's culture of remembrance, as well as thoughts on the abuse of power, compassion and solidarity in the face of the millions of people suffering from the consequences of persecution, flight, oppression and violence.

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 |

Every person experiences empowerment differently. Therefore, 35 FLINTA of Colour have used a wide variety of genres to present their views on empowerment - in line with the motto: 'as diverse as we are, so may the texts be'. In essays, poems, short stories, experience reports, memoirs - and further literary forms - the authors deal with their own identity, tell of finding their way in a white, heteronormative society and pursuing dreams and desires - despite or even because of the adversities they face every day.
