Divided and Shared – Collective Writing

Starting from language as a social and political medium, the conversation revolves around forms of collective practice: writing and translation as relational acts, editing as a shared practice, and the question of how communities are formed through language and listening. How does literary work change when it is understood not as individual authorship, but as a collaborative process? What conflicts, responsibilities, and possibilities emerge in this process? And how can spaces be created in which translation, care, and solidarity become part of artistic practice?

‘Art in Conflict’ invites an open conversation on literature, labour, and community, on the visible and invisible dimensions of cultural production, and on practices of thinking and acting together.

Ulrike Ulrich will be present on site, and Sandra Hetzl will join online.

 Spontaneous participation on site is possible at any time. Participation via Zoom is also possible with prior registration via this link.
