Coming up

A Kurdish-Turkish poetry evening 

The Swiss literary industry has long been dominated by the four official national languages. The events series Texts without Borders counters this tendency in cooperation with Translation House Looren, presenting writers who work in other languages. In Solothurn two poets will be in conversation, reading from their work in Turkish and Kurdish (Kurmanji) and in German translation, with a musical framing of Kurdish and Turkish songs. 

Elif Yıldırım (writer)

Emin Uslu (writer)

Ilayda Kaya (vocals), Henrik Dewes (guitar), Finn Mück (percussion)

Ivana Martinović (German readings) 

Tuğba Ayaz (presenter)
