Reading
Unversehrt. Frauen und Schmerz.
13 Jun, 2025, 8.15 PM @ Atelier Gardens
Event language: German
A man is given painkillers. A woman? Something to calm her nerves. This everyday scene reveals a deeper system failure: Female pain is not only underestimated – it’s systematically dismissed. Despite being more often affected by violence, chronic illness, or menstrual disorders, women are still met with silence, sedation, or skepticism.
This reading is a powerful call to awareness and justice. It asks tough questions, breaks taboos, and demands that female pain be acknowledged for what it truly is: real, physical, and political.

Media in this event
A man is given painkillers. A woman? Something to soothe her nerves. Women’s pain is dismissed, ignored, minimized—despite the fact that women suffer more, are hurt more often, and live with chronic pain. It's time to change this—time to turn pain into power.
