This talk is free and open to all. Limited parking vouchers will be available.
Talk abstract: Beginning with reflections of an influential quote by Audre Lorde, “your silence will not protect you,” this talk considers how Black German-speaking women authors employ intertextuality as a powerful form of literariness, empowerment, and activism. In it, I trace the lineage of this singular line as it appears transnationally across a series of genres and two languages to affect positive change. I conclude by inviting others to experience the original call through visual, audial, and multisensory cues.
