About event
Kurdish literature at Kotti - voices, stories and sounds of a diverse culture
The history of Kurdish literature in Germany begins in 1922 with a diary entry by Celadet Ali Bedirxan, the founder of modern Kurdish literature. Despite this over a hundred-year history of immigration and a community of around 1.3 million people, the recognition of Kurdish identity in Germany remains a challenge to this day.
The increasing number of Kurdish-language works in German translation as well as German-language texts by authors with a Kurdish background is an expression of the growing need to be heard - and to make one's own stories visible.
The event series "Kurdish Literature at Kotti", organized by the Wilhelm Center Library Liebknecht / Namık Kemal in cooperation with Yekmal e.V., starts right here: Between November 17th and November 22nd, 2025, a space for Kurdish stories, poetry, music and encounters will open for four days - in the middle of Berlin-Kreuzberg.
The program includes readings from current Kurdish-language literature, picture book cinema, a specialist lecture and musical contributions. Young talents and established authors have their say.
“Kurdish Literature at Kotti” is an invitation to rediscover Kurdish life in Berlin and to become part of a literary-cultural dialogue.
Free admission!
