Current literary perspectives on Sudan’s past, present and future: a war has been raging there for four years now, a conflict that began as a power struggle and has developed into one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our time. This event explores the question of who is telling the story of this reality – and how. Which voices shape the image of the country? Which stories go unheard? And through which means and media are memory, the present and the future explored in literature?

Following the stage slot, there will be a 30-minute book signing in the adjacent signing area.

This is an event from Litprom/ Frankfurter Buchmesse with the following panelists:

Stella Gaitano (Author, Sudan / Germany),

Ruba El Melik (Author, Sudan)

Moderation: Cornelia Wegerhoff
