Reading and talk with Nina Petrick
What was it like to grow up as the child of a famous artist couple in walled-off West Berlin? The author—and daughter of Helma and Wolfgang Petrick—reads from her work and discusses the politically turbulent years of her childhood, which shaped her and her parents in very different ways.
