    Exile Talks Movie Night:Cardboard

    23. Februar um 19:00 21:00 in Berlin

    Cardboard is a documentary film about protest memory in contemporary Moscow. After the start of the full-scale war, metal memorial plaques commemorating victims of Stalinist repression began disappearing from the facades of residential buildings. In response, a small group of citizens returns these names to the urban space by hanging handmade cardboard plaques in place of the destroyed ones, while also investigating who is systematically erasing the memory of political repression—and why.
    Public Screening and Discussion.

    Exile Talks Azerbaijan

    20. Januar um 19:00 20:30 in Berlin

    What does it mean to speak freely when journalism and art are under constant threat? Which mechanisms does the authoritarian government in Azerbaijan use to silence journalists and critical artists—and how do they continue to research, report, and create in exile?

    Exiled journalist Fatima Karimova and actor and director Elmin Badalov share their experiences of censorship, pressure, and exile. Together, they discuss how journalistic work can continue across borders, how exile reshapes cultural systems, and what happens to creative and media freedom in moments of political rupture.
    Moderated by Maria Kotsev (journalist at Tagesspiegel, Host of GenEast Podcast)

    kitchen talks x Exile Talks: Covering life under Russian occupation

    10. Dezember, 2025 um 18:00 20:00

    Reporting from Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russia is not just difficult, it is dangerous. Journalists face threats from the occupying army, while local media are silenced and replaced with propaganda. As a result, the world sees only fragments of what life under occupation truly looks like, and countless human rights violations remain concealed from international audiences.

    This panel, organised in partnership with n-ost and CORRECTIV.Exile, presents journalistic insights from the temporarily occupied territories:

    How are Ukrainian men forcibly mobilised into Russia’s army? What does everyday life look like for queer people under occupation? What risks do Ukrainians face when attempting to flee? And how do occupying authorities attempt to erase the national identity of Ukrainian children?

    Kitchen Talks x Exile Talks: Narratives on Migration in German Media

    12. November, 2025 um 18:00 20:00 in Berlin

    Migration is still very often framed in German media through the lenses of crisis, integration, or threat. These narratives shape public opinion and the political climate we live in. In this discussion, we will reflect on how these narratives emerge inside German media and newsrooms and how alternative storytelling can challenge the status quo and open space for more nuanced, inclusive coverage that can reshape public debates and contribute to a more cohesive and informed society.

    Join Shammi Haque (CORRECTIV), Rebecca Roth and a third speaker (tbc) for a discussion, hosted by CORRECTIV.Exile and n-ost.

    Exile Talks Cologne: Stories of South Sudan

    20. November, 2025 um 19:00 in Köln

    South Sudan—the world’s youngest country—is also one of the most dangerous places for journalists. Since independence in 2011, political violence, corruption, and repression have driven many reporters and writers into exile. In this conversation, writer Stella Gaitano and journalist Joseph Oduha discuss leaving South Sudan, working from exile, and what it means to stay connected to a country you can no longer live in. Moderated by Sham Jaff (what happened last week).

    Join us for the discussion and stay afterward for snacks, drinks, and conversations.

    Exile Talks: Live from Europe’s Shrinking Newsrooms – Cases of Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia

    16. Oktober, 2025 um 19:00 21:00 in Berlin

    Across Central Europe, press freedom is under siege. In Hungary, political control strangles independent voices. Serbian journalists face systematic intimidation. Slovakia’s independent media and civil society face systematic attacks.
    These aren’t isolated incidents—they’re coordinated campaigns by authoritarian leaders desperate to secure their grip on power, knowing that criminal trials and accountability await many of them once they lose control.

    Join us for an urgent conversation with frontline defenders of press freedom from Serbia, Hungary, and Slovakia. This episode of Exile Talks is organized in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Stiftung.
