Annett Gröschner | …lebt und arbeitet in Berlin.
Annett Gröschner was born in Magdeburg in the 1960’s. She began writing at an early age, which quickly put her on the radar of the GDR Ministry for State Security (MfS, also known as the Stasi). With the exception of brief intervals, she has lived in Berlin since the 1990’s. She has researched the history of the Prenzlauer Berg district, specifically its wartime history, for several projects and books.
… lebt und arbeitet in Berlin.
Berlin has always been associated with the promise of a better, safer and more liberated life. Today more than ever, Berlin is a city of new arrivals, a place of aspiration and refuge, especially for artists and creators, who see in it a place where self-realisation is possible.
The stories of the women interviewed reveal personal motives, structural difficulties and social hurdles linked to migration in general and labour migration in particular. At the same time, they provide an opportunity to reflect on current and future social coexistence in the city, including with regard to the social and professional equality of women, particularly in the area of art and culture.
