SCREENiNG & TALK „The Edge Of Each Other's Battles“

This powerful documentary is a moving tribute to legendary black lesbian feminist poet Audre Lorde (1934-1992). One of the most celebrated icons of feminism's so called second wave, Lorde inspired several generations of activists with her political analyses and riveting poetry, serving as a catalyst for change and uniting the communities of which she was a part: black arts and black liberation, women's liberation and lesbian and gay liberation.

Nowhere was this more apparent than the groundbreaking I AM YOUR SISTER CONFERENCE in 1990 in Boston, USA, which brought together 1200 activists from 23 countries. Audre Lorde inspired feminists all around the world and was also crucial in the formation of the Afrogerman movement by Black women* in Germany, during her Berlin years, many of them from the lesbian community.

The documentary THE EDGE OF EACH OTHER'S BATTLES powerfully brings Lorde's legacy of poetry and politics to life and conveys the spirit, passion and intensity that remains her trademark. It includes thrilling footage of the inimitable Lorde herself, and candid interviews with conference organizers.

After the screening we will have a Q & A with Diana Arce.
