Büchereck Niendorf Nord

A debut novel with substance: We got to experience "Kaskaden" at the book premiere here in Hamburg, and were so enthusiastic about the book and author that we invited her to join us. So we are very pleased that Louise K. Böhm will be reading with us in October! > This is what "Kaskaden" is about: If Jojo could just erase her origins, she would. Although she has left the suburban gray far behind, she is still constantly afraid at university that someone might find out she doesn't belong here. Only her work in the lab gives her stability. When Jakob enters her life, Jojo finds a new sense of ease. But then she receives a sign of life from her former best friend, and suddenly everything is back: the years with Yara, with whom she spent more time than with her own parents. Who always had a comeback for every remark. And who disappeared overnight, even though they had wanted to break out of the suburbs together. Full of wit and yet light as a feather, Louise K. Böhm tells the story of a deep friendship. An electrifying novel about origin and belonging – with two heroines you won't forget. > Louise K. Böhm, born 2000 in Berlin, studied Literary Writing, Cultural Journalism, and Cultural Policy in Hildesheim after an initial degree in the media sector, before moving professionally into the music industry and privately to Hamburg. Her texts appear in various literary magazines and anthologies. On social media, as @louschreibt_, she shares book recommendations, gives insights into her everyday life as an author, and raises awareness about classism in the cultural industry. 'Kaskaden' is her first novel. > We are looking forward to a great evening! > Moderation: Karla Paul > The project is funded by the Niendorf Nord discretionary fund from funds of the Eimsbüttel district office.

An event in the Feline Tecklenburg series - We in BusinessWhy everyone wins when care counts more than profitLooking after children, caring for parents, cooking, and cleaning – for many, the evening feels like a second shift. And then the money isn't enough. While others earn millions with financial transactions, those who perform care work have little left to live on. But burnout is considered personal failure and poverty in old age is seen as individual bad luck. This is not a coincidence, it is politics. Care work is the invisible foundation of our economy, and those who perform it are systematically exploited.This book puts an end to the feeling of being to blame. Because what has been created politically can be changed politically. Feline Tecklenburg analyzes why the redistribution of time, power, and money is not radical, but long overdue. The question is not whether we can afford it. The question is how much longer we want to afford a system that wants the most important work for free.Feline Tecklenburg, born in 1992, is a political economist and co-founder of the 'Wirtschaft ist Care' (Economy is Care) think and action workshop. She is completing her doctorate at the University of Paderborn on the care economy in sustainable economic models and co-edited the anthology 'Wirtschaft neu ausrichten' (Realigning the Economy) in 2023. As a sought-after keynote speaker, she appears at re:publica and conferences. She lives in Berlin.Moderation: Karla Paul
