Bridging Divides
12 Oct, 2024, 6.30 PM @ Festival Center D'24
Event language: German
Home and identity—how do they shape us, and how do we shape them? We will talk about how personal stories influence the way we see the world and help to break down prejudices. Tara Paighambari’s book Café of Freedom is a powerful example of how to find a sense of belonging. Afterwards, we will be showing Sisterqueens, a film about three young women who use their music to drive social change and find a voice for their generation.
