From the series founders:
“Kilmé is a talk series dedicated to celebrating the work of Palestinian artists, intellectuals, and academics. It serves as a platform for these remarkable voices to present their work and discuss topics that matter most to them, freely and openly. The word “Kilmé” means “word” in Arabic, and we believe that their words and voices deserve to be heard.
We are excited to host this talk series at Lettrétage, a venue located in the heart of Berlin Mitte, known for its innovative approaches to presenting literature.
Starting in September 2024, we will engage with our Palestinian guests once a month in what promises to be an enriching experience for both our audience and ourselves. Our commitment is to showcase the diversity and creativity of Palestinian voices, contributing to the rich cultural landscape of Berlin—a city that is home to the largest Palestinian community in Europe.”
