Die “Muslimischen Kulturtage” sind eine vom Senat in Berlin geförderte Veranstaltungsreihe, die vom 19. – 22. September 2019 stattfanden. Innerhalb dieser Tage wurde ein breites kulturelles Programm auf die Beine gestellt, welches die Vielfältigkeit der Berliner Muslimischen Communities repräsentierte und nicht-muslimische BürgerInnen Berlins dazu einlud, das muslimische Leben und die kulturelle Vielfalt kennen zu lernen. Für die Erarbeitung des Konzepts und Durchführung der Muslimischen Kulturtage haben sich VertreterInnen unterschiedlicher muslimischer Gemeinden und gemeindeunabhängige muslimische Personen zusammengefunden. Soufeina war selbst zweifach vertreten: Einmal als ausstellende Künstlerin in der Blogfabrik und einmal am Abend des

Dear followers and friends, The first half of 2018 has passed and here I am: Not keeping my promise to share an update quarterly. Instead, this is gonna be an update of the past half year! Well, that’s better than nothing, right? The past six months have been full of personal and professional milestones. Back to the Roots First things first: My biggest personal change in 2018 so far: We moved to Berlin! The city I have lived in most of my life. Dublin was home for exactly 1 year (for me, 7

Dear followers and friends, To be honest, when I created this blog three years ago I was not very sure how to handle it. I was not sure what to share, how often I would share etc. With all those social media platforms, facebook, instagram, deviantart – who would be even interested in reading a text here? But I decided to use this space wisely, now: I want to write reviews every quarter of the year. This is for all those who are interested in having an overview of what is happening with

Time flies and my life feels like a chaos. A positive chaos, although my body is giving me signals by muting me – my voice is gone for three days now. So, here’s some news: I quit my job to start a new one in Berlin –  back to the roots. This means: Moving within less then 3 weeks – a challenge that won’t prevent me by following my artistic career. The 3 most interesting news for now:

Next stop: German Protestant Church Day (DEKT), on June 5. I will be sharing my experiences on a discussion panel about “Approaches and obstacles of interreligious learning”.  

These last few weeks were extremely exciting for me. I am so grateful to have the oppurtunity to travel around in order to show my work and talk about it. Alhamdulillah (Thank God). So here are my highlights:

Life is unpredictable, subhanallah (“Glory be to God”, said when you’re impressed by something). Sometimes you’re trying so hard to reach a specific point in life and although you keep pushing persistently it won’t work. It won’t work because it’s not the time yet. And because something else was planned for you, something that comes to you so easily, you won’t understand how and why.

After having presented some artworks at the concert against racism in the Lagerhalle Osnabrück on Friday, I had the pleasure to visit Vienna for 25 hours for an empowerment-comic-workshop. It was so much fun! Thanks once again to the organizers, hosts and to every participant who came and shared her story. I love every single comic strip that you’ve created and I really hope we will see your results, soon (: More impressions. In Vienna – (c) Sichtwechsel In the “Lagerhalle” – (c) Thomas Wübker

I am very excited to visit the Austrian capital for the first time. I will be leading a workshop for young women as part of an empowerment project called “Sichtwechsel”!

Leaving for the “Diocese of Trier” tomorrow to teach religion teachers how to use comics in schools. Not sure if I am going to tell them the right things but let’s see. Looking forward to it! I have been featured in the Danish newspaper “Weekendavisen”, last weekend. I don’t understand a single word (though you can guess a lot when you know the German language) but the interview was quite pleasant so I naively expect no nasty surprises.
