Reading and Discussion with Priya Basil
Berlin-based writer-activist Priya Basil will read from her latest book Gastfreundschaft on food, politics, and hospitality. Basil’s newest book takes the form of a collection of essayistic vignettes, interwoven with stories of her own various experiences of eating, being hosted, and being a host. It tells of a childhood in Kenya, the daughter of Indian migrants, her family’s move to Britain, and finally her choice to settle in Berlin. Her reflections span broad expanses of time and space from colonial British India to her thoughts on and impressions of the reception of migrants in Germany in 2015.
