When words meet stone and bodies flow through space, a moment is created that connects: In the heart of Stuttgart's west, a special event on Saturday, 03.05.25 invites you to experience the city's history and culture of remembrance in a new way. Inspired by the Afro-German poet, educator, scientist and political activist May Ayim, the square will be transformed into a living space of remembrance for an afternoon. Artistic performance, spoken word, dance and a mindfulness session offer visitors the opportunity to approach May Ayim's work not only by reading, but also physically and sensually.
