When the Invisible Gets a Voice: Aromanticism and Asexuality in Conversation
On November 10, 2026, the Central Library of Cologne invites you to a special reading and discussion event with Annika Baumgart and Katharina Kroschel. The focus will be on aromantic and asexual life realities, societal expectations, and the question of how language can create visibility.
A Literary Experience Between Reading and Dialogue
The event combines an informed introduction, interactive reading, and open exchange. Based on their non-fiction book (un)made visible – Perspectives on Aromanticism and Asexuality, the authors introduce central terms and experiential worlds. The format opens up space for questions from the audience and develops its course through direct dialogue.
Literary Art as a Tool for Visibility
Aromanticism and Asexuality appear here not as marginal topics, but as part of a diverse society. The reading focuses on discrimination, romantic and sexual norms, as well as the long history of different orientations. Literary quality is combined with educational work and cultural discourse.
A Book Between Enlightenment and Personal Perspective
The non-fiction book published in 2022 by edition assemblage gathers foundations, personal contributions, and critical societal perspectives. Annika Baumgart and Katharina Kroschel work as authors, activists, and educational speakers on aromanticism and asexuality. Together, they lead the queer educational project ace_arovolution.
An Open Invitation to Curious Readers
The event is aimed at everyone who wants to learn more about aromantic and asexual orientations, reflect on their own notions, or seek a sensitive approach to queer life realities. The intimate reading atmosphere of the library creates a concentrated space for listening, reflecting, and encountering.
Conclusion: Literature as a Bridge to New Perspectives
This authors' encounter promises an informative and personal evening about identity, societal norms, and the power of precise language. Those looking to deepen the cultural discourse on aromanticism and asexuality will experience an interactive reading with space for questions and exchange in Cologne.
