Audre Lorde – The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 Panel Discussion

An Event Hosted by the US Embassy Berlin

Audre Lorde 1024x576

She was the mentor and catalyst who helped ignite the Afro-German movement. With her active support a whole generation of writers and poets for the first time gave voice to their unique experience as people of color in Germany: Black. Queer. Feminist.  
The panelists will discuss the documentary “Audre Lorde – The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992.” The film is a compelling and unique documentary that explores the little–known time that U.S. poet and activist Audre Lorde spent in Germany, her relation to the German Black Diaspora, and her literary and political influence.  The film is also a valuable historical document of German history, which tells about the development of an Afro-German movement and the origins of the anti-racist movement before and after German reunification. The film presents the beginnings of these political debates and therefore facilitates a historical analysis and an understanding of present debates on identity and racism in Germany. 

Panel Discussion with  

  • Dr. Dagmar Schultz (filmmaker) 
  • Ika Hügel-Marshall, co-author 
  • Tahir Della, Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland Bund e.V
