Am Freitag, den 29. April 2022, begrüßen wir um 19 Uhr bei KLAK in der Fabrik (Paul-Lincke-Ufer 44a, 10999 Berlin – 2. Hinterhof, Aufgang A) die Québecer Autorin Claudine Dumont.

Von Claudine Dumont sind die Romane Anabiose, La petite fille qui aimait Stephen King und L‘intrusive (XYZ). Ihre Protagonistinnen sind in unerträglichen Situationen gefangen, aus denen sie versuchen, wieder herauszukommen. In Anabiose z.B. lebt Emma zurückgezogen und flüchtet sich in den Alkohol, um zu vergessen, dass sie ihr Leben eigentlich verschwendet. Und in L‘intrusive plagen Camille schlaflose Nächte, die sich negativ auf ihren Körper und ihr soziales Leben auswirken. Beide Frauen müssen sich mit dieser untragbaren Situation auseinandersetzen, um sie hinter sich zu lassen. Im Fall von Emma geschieht dies in einem leeren, kühlen, grauen Raum, in dem sie sich eines Morgens wiederfindet und im Fall von Camille in der Gegenwart eines Fremden, der mit einem außergewöhnlichen Apparat in die tiefsten Zonen ihres Bewusstseins vordringt.
Claudine Dumont schreibt Psychothriller, die einen in ihren Bann ziehen. Mit Gefühl für Rhythmus und Timing erzählt sie die Geschichten ihrer Protagonistinnen, deren Qualen sie für die Leserschaft spürbar macht. So verwundert es kaum, dass ihre Bücher bereits übersetzt und mit Literaturpreisen ausgezeichnet sind.

Bitte beachtet die zum Zeitpunkt der Veranstaltung gültigen Hygienemaßnahmen und dass wir das Tragen einer Mund-Nasen-Bedeckung im Raum empfehlen.
Außerdem bitten wir um eine Voranmeldung via mail@bookandyou-ca.de.

Inheritance (April 27 – 30, 2022) brings together activists, curators, educators, tribal leaders, artists, historians, heritage workers, and policy makers to explore the range of strategies that institutions and communities are using to respond to contentious representations of race, Indigenous lifeways and history in public art and architecture.  Over two days on Zoom, speakers from the US, UK and Canada will offer first-hand accounts of initiatives and actions that resulted in the removal, reinterpretation, or recontextualization of public and commemorative artworks, heritage sites and museum collections, while others will present on efforts to protect and preserve sites that have been ignored or under-resourced.  We are in the midst of a reckoning, as communities seek to reshape how (and whose) history is told and commemorated in public space. This may entail radical changes to the art that hangs on our walls, the monuments in our public squares, and the stories that are told at historic sites as the public landscape that we have inherited continues to evolve.
