FEMfest 2026 in Göttingen: An evening for strong voices, clear positions, and smart debates
On October 4, 2026, the Old Town Hall of Göttingen will be transformed into a space for contemporary feminist literature, analytical sharpness, and intense conversations. At FEMfest, Veronika Kracher, Sibel Schick, and Edith Löhle will meet, three authors who address the major provocative issues of our time with their current books: misogyny on the internet, reproductive justice, and the power of images, roles, and attributions.
A festival evening with a stance
The Göttingen Literature Autumn has relied on extraordinary venues, intelligent programs, and a strong closeness to the audience for more than 30 years. This moderated conversation is no different: no loud show effects, but a concentrated live experience with depth that connects literature, social analysis, and debate culture. Those familiar with the community feeling of the Literature Autumn will experience an evening that carries discussions beyond the event hall.
Three authors, three perspectives, a common resonance space
Veronika Kracher looks at digital misogyny and its mechanisms in Bitch Hunt. Sibel Schick demands reproductive justice and self-determination with My Body – Whose Decision?. Edith Löhle uses satirical exaggeration in Short Process and questions the images by which we measure our present. This lineup makes FEMfest a literary-political evening that visibly combines expertise and emotion.
Historical backdrop, dense atmosphere
The Old Town Hall in Göttingen's marketplace represents that special festival atmosphere that characterizes the Literature Autumn: focused on the inside, right in the middle of the city on the outside. Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the event starts at 7:00 PM. Those who arrive early will experience the old town with its lively flow of audiences and the fine tension before an evening sure to provide discussion material.
What visitors can expect
The FEMfest is aimed at everyone who appreciates feminist debates, contemporary literature, and pointed stage presence. The event is designed as a moderated conversation, making it ideal for an audience that not only wants to listen but also engage in argumentative exchange. A strong autumn date for readers and all those who love literary events with conviction.
Conclusion: FEMfest 2026 promises an intense evening filled with thoughts, contradictions, and literary energy. Anyone who wants to experience smart texts, strong voices, and the special atmosphere of the Göttingen Literature Autumn should not miss this live event.
