Sarah Berger and Sailesh Naidu in conversation with Oliver Niels Völkel

How to be happy in Berlin? That was the question posed 100 years ago by writers like Christopher Isherwood and Virginia Woolf, who came to Berlin to write and party and express their sexuality more freely. How does it feel a century later? Does the German metropolis still hold the promise of more freedom for artists from all over the world? And do writers who have moved here see themselves in the tradition of the expats of the past? Artists Sarah Berger and Sailesh Naidu will talk about topics like these with Oliver Niels Völkel on our digital stage.
