Heidelberg | Presentation of Witnessed and reading from Winter Shorts - today!

This evening at 6pm begins a wonderful celebration of Black in Germany literature, poetry and music as part of the programme of events to support the ISD exhibition Homestory Deutschland.

Sharon Dodua Otoo will open with a presentation of the Witnessed Series - an English language publication series written by Black authors who have lived in Germany.

This is followed by a reading of a short story "Waste of Mist" by WoMANtís RANDom. This was published last year in the fifth book of the Witnessed Series, "Winter Shorts", edited by Clementine Burnley and Sharon Dodua Otoo.

And to round it all off, a brilliant Spoken Word Performance will be provided by SchwarzRund.

See you there!
