About Me

I am a writer and filmmaker from Berlin/Germany. I just finished my documentary film Abortion Democracy (www.abortion-democracy.de) about abortion in Poland and South Africa (It's interesting to compare those countries, because Poland criminalized abortion in the 90s while South Africa legalized it at the same time, while it is easier to have access to illegal abortions in Poland than to legal ones in S.A.) Check my calendar for screenings. A tour through the USA is scheduled for September 09, through Ireland and UK for November 09. People who are interested in organizing screenings are welcome to contact me. My previous anthology "Brüste Kriegen" (Getting Breasts, Verbrecher Verlag, 2004 - http://www.verbrecherverlag.de/buch/89) presented short stories and interviews about how girls deal with social expectations regarding their physical changes in their puberty. My recent anthology "Deproduktion - Schwangerschaftsabbruch im internationalen Kontext" (Deproduction - abortion in an international context, Alibri Verlag, 2007 - http://www.alibri-buecher.de/product_info.php/info/p200# ;inhalt) is about abortion laws worldwide, (especially where abortion is prohibited) and how women organize abortion illegally, but also about the representation of this topic in our culture, media, films and literature. I give lectures about those issues. Check my calender for the dates.Earlier Anthologies I edited are about city life in certain areas of Berlin (Kreuzbergbuch, 2002; Mittebuch,2003; Neuköllnbuch, 2004; all published by Verbrecher Verlag)My journalistic work was published in magazines and newspapers like Jungle World, Spex, konkret, Taz, Berliner Zeitung, Intro, anschläge, De:Bug, Zitty and my short stories and essays were published in various anthologies.My academic research concerns abortion politics, representation of abortion, new tendencies in African Womens Literature, feminist politicsFinally I am writing a novel about Israelis in Germany. Well, I hope I can finish it this year.As well I am starting a german based NGO which helps polish women getting free access to abortions in Germany. Its called "European Rights for Polish Women". Donors welcome!!!
