A talk marking the 100th birthday of art critic and writer John Berger, whose book »Ways of Seeing« changed the way we see. The historian Mario Keßler and the author Stephan Wackwitz speak with Achim Engelberg, who wrote his doctorate on Berger, about his work – from his first book on Renato Guttuso to his central themes of migration and exile. Excerpts will also be heard from a reading in which Heiner Müller recited texts by his friend. The event is a collaboration between the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung and the Literaturforum im Brecht-Haus.
