The 18th international literature festival berlin (ilb) will take place from 5 to 15 September 2018, turning the capital into a centre and resonating space of international literary life during the festival period.

The international literature festival berlin does not only carry its claim prominently in its name. Every September, the festival presents contemporary developments in prose, poetry, non-fiction, graphic novels and children's and young people's literature from all over the world, deals with highly topical political issues and academic discourses, and actively promotes reading and literary mediation. With the aim of addressing the widest possible audience and involving them in the festival in various ways, readings, talks, encounters and workshops will take place over eleven days in Berlin. The main venue is the Haus der Berliner Festspiele. The festival offers people in Berlin and the region the extraordinary opportunity to gain a concentrated insight into the worldwide literary scene with its highly diverse forms, temperaments and styles.

Guests include Noa Ha (Junior Research Group Leader at ZfI), who will be participating in the panel Dekolonisierung öffentlicher Räume on 08 September 2018: Street names remember and honour, statues immortalise - but who? The panelists will talk about the extent to which public space is historically and politically shaped and address the possibilities of decolonising urban spaces.
