I'll be reading from my essay "Conversations about timelessness, speechlessness and the so-called childfree life". It’s about my decision not to have children of my own — and the oceans of time that opened up in front of me once I stepped out of the timeline that used to define me.

The essay was published as part of NOT ONLY MOTHERS WERE PREGNANT, a project that brings together voices often left out of conversations on fertility, pregnancy, and parenting.

I will be reading alongside Jacinta Nandi, KAy Garnellen, Jennifer Lotsi, Constanze Schwärzer, Svetlana Kosti. The initiator of the project, wonderful artist, curator, and writerl Alisa Tretau will be facilitating.

The event is part of "Reproductive Futures - Feminist Visions for Equitable Care" organized by the Heinrich Böll Foundation.

Language: German, with sign-language interpretation and audio description.
