with Barbi Markovic und Vina Yun

WUK Foyer, Währingerstraße 59, 1090 Wien
Entry: Pay as you can*

 


Barbi Marković reads from her book Minihorror, published by Residenz Verlag in the fall of 2023. The book negotiates postmigrant middle-class dreams and nightmares. It is about patriarchal biases, microaggressions, and the fears nested and entangled therein in inhabiting multiple worlds. In the form of a moderated conversation and reading, journalist and author Vina Yun will talk with Barbi Marković about diasporic and feminist experiences, as well as writing and art as a diasporic artist. What does it mean for one's writing to deal with one's own history and reality? How to find a voice, a language, and beyond that, develop a style? And for whom are we actually narrating? How do we deal with dominant receptions in the cultural landscape in terms of class ascensions or their immanent reconfigurations and evaluative meanings? Those questions that arise from writing in the hybrid cosmos and intersectionally interwoven worlds of experience will be taken up and negotiated in the discussion.

This event is a Cool Down event of the CLIŠHÉ TRÄSH Festival, which took place on October 6 and 7. The events are each curated by a forum member and deal with clichés and stereotypes in a humorous and ironic way. Our goal is to uncover the structures behind them and, at best, to destroy them.
