It is a political declaration of confrontation. That is exactly what Frank-Walter Steinmeier did in his interview. And many citizens did not understand his words as a warning—but rather… Read more

Marlas Army
Texte. Stim. Freiheit.
Marlas Army is a publishing project by Marla Svenja Liebich This is where texts, chronicles, and personal observations from exile are created— political, historical, and social. The ongoing Exile Chronicle connects contemporary history with the present and documents how language, power, and reality change.
At the same time, it serves Marlas Army beyond the digital space: many readers pick up impulses, ideas, and attitudes from the texts and independently put them into practice in projects, discussions, and everyday decisions. In this way, the project also takes shape in real life—decentralized, voluntary, and beyond formal structures.
