Look here - Poetry in Braille

To mark International Museum Day—as a poetic intervention accompanying the exhibition—editor Marco Sagurna, together with poets Clara Cosima Wolff and Salean A. Maiwald, will present the newly published anthology “Seht her – Poesie in Braille” (Kulturmaschinen Verlag 2026) at the PalaisPopulaire, which brings together poems in standard print and Braille. The poems by the 25 blind and sighted poets featured—including Ilma Rakusa, Volker Sielaff, and Rüdiger Stüwe—are not only readable by touch; their content also references seeing and hearing, the invisible and the visible. The anthology was produced in collaboration with the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired of Lower Saxony and was awarded the Publishing Prize of the Free State of Bavaria.

In addition to the reading, the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired will offer a Braille workshop for children at 11 a.m., and the PalaisPopulaire will offer a guided tour of the exhibition for blind and visually impaired people starting at 2 p.m.

A joint event with the PalaisPopulaire and the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired of Lower Saxony e.V.

In cooperation with the House of Poetry.
