TRADUKI. Literature from South-East Europe
Language, passport and two or three photos. New literature from south-east Europe
In Leipzig, TRADUKI presents contemporary literature from south-eastern Europe in German translation. But south-eastern European authors who write in German are not overlooked either.
The extensive programme of the TRADUKI literature and translation network has taken language, passport and two or three photos as its motto for 2025. New literature from south-eastern Europe on a wide range of topics: How do you write about war, flight, migration and the aftermath? Where do countries like Bosnia or Serbia stand today?
At the trade fair, TRADUKI 2025 can be found in its own TRADUKI Kafana (Hall 4, D403) and at events in Café Europa and the Global Perspectives forum. Words and music meet in the traditional Balkan Night at UT Connewitz – on Saturday evening, 29 March 2025.
The Balkan Film Week at the UT Connewitz from 4 to 7 March will provide a cinematic introduction to the region between Slovenia and Albania.
