- **Event Description**: Current #PicadorProf Hannah Michell on courage, silence, and the small acts that move us toward change.About this EventWhat breaks first when courage meets fear? How can resistance live quietly, and still be heard? Current PicadorProf Hannah Michell invites us to explore the small, invisible acts that ripple far beyond themselves, the stories that refuse to be forgotten, and the risks of speaking out.What happens when the struggle over truth becomes a struggle over story?We often imagine activism as something loud and visible — marches, speeches and grand acts of defiance. But stories are where power first takes hold: in what is remembered, and in what is erased. To write, then, is to resist forgetting — to contest history itself.Current #PicadorProf Hannah Michell and host Senthuran Varatharajah invites us to a talk and reading on writing as a site of resistance, and how fiction can expose the struggles over memory and truth.Born in England and raised in Seoul, Michell studied anthropology and philosophy at Cambridge and teaches at the University of California, Berkeley.In her acclaimed novel Excavations — named one of the best crime novels of 2023 by LitHub and Publishers Weekly — Michell explores what it means to speak in times of silence and to uncover what has been deliberately buried.This event reflects on how art does more than accompany activism — it transforms it, reshaping the narratives that define what we dare to imagine as possible.The Picador Guest Professorship is brought to you by Uni Leipzig, American Studies Leipzig, DAAD Artist Program and Holtzbrinck Berlin. This Event is in cooperation with EDIT Magazine.When: November 25, 6 PMEntrance Time: 5:30 PMWhere: Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst LeipzigAdmission free! Save your ticket soon!

                "description": "The Picador Professorship for Literature at the University of Leipzig is unique in Germany. Located at the university's American Studies Program and based on a partnership between Holtzbrinck Berlin - Inspire Together, the DAAD, and the University of Leipzig, it combines elements of a writers-in-residence program, creative writing programs, and university learning. The Picador Professorship for Literature brings leading young writers of English language literature to Leipzig and Mitteldeutschland, thereby providing students with a chance to work with 'practitioners' of literature. It thus also engages in and fosters a vivid exchange about the relationship between literature, language, and culture, especially as they shape society's negotiation of diversity and difference."
