Nothing gets lost, every trace leaves a mark: Since 2025, the literary magazine BRACHE serves as a platform for new literary voices from the Ruhr region. As part of the summer festival ›Shifting Grounds – IN COMMON‹, editorial team members Esra Canpalat, Julienne De Muirier, and Lukas Hermann will present the project in a listening session on the slag heap – featuring music and poetry readings by Miriam Yosef, Orli Yomi, and Anissah Chatha.

BRACHE is a magazine for new literature from the Ruhr region, founded in 2025. It is published twice a year and is available free of charge. Each issue is dedicated to a theme that invites readers to paraphrase or get to the heart of the matter, to view it under a microscope or through a wide-angle lens, to sow new seeds, or to dig themselves out of history.

Editors BRACHE Esra Canpalat, Julienne De Muirier, Lukas Hermann With texts by Anissah Chatha, Orli Yomi, Miriam Yosef Music Lukas Hermann
