An Evening about Identity, Memory, and the Power of Graphic Novel
With The Wind in My Scarf, an autobiographical graphic novel comes to the stage in Freiburg, translating personal experience and political presence into compelling images. Roya Soraya tells of a journey to Iran, of family roots, of queer self-exploration, and of that fine tension between belonging and otherness that characterizes great contemporary literature.
A Reading that Lets Images Speak
The reading at the city library on Münsterplatz promises a literary experience between voice, drawing, and narrative power. Those who appreciate graphic novels will encounter not just a story, but a precise art of language and imagery that makes visible the inner life of a young woman. The format combines reading, author encounter, and cultural-political reflection into an intense evening.
Literature Emerging Between Two Cultures
Roya Soraya's work resonates with a nerve of the current literary scene: migration, identity, female self-determination, and familial memory intertwine into a narrative with a clear stance. The autobiographical perspective lends credibility to the material, while the graphic form expands the emotional resonance space. Thus, an evening is created that not only informs but moves.
Freiburg as a Place of Open Encounter
The city library at Münsterplatz offers a fitting atmosphere for this reading: central, public, culturally anchored, and accessible. The main location features a ramp at Münsterplatz, automatically opening doors, a wheelchair-accessible elevator, and barrier-free offerings in the building. This makes the reading also a spatial place of arrival and thinking together.
What Visitors Can Expect
The audience can expect a dense, reflective, and emotionally clear evening, where literature, comic art, and societal discourse intertwine. Those interested in contemporary literature, graphic novels, and personal narratives will experience an author whose work points far beyond the individual event. A visit is worthwhile for all who want to experience literature live and up close.
Conclusion: This reading in Freiburg connects literary quality, political depth, and visually powerful storytelling. Those wishing to discover Roya Soraya's new voice in contemporary literature should experience this evening live.
