Politics in Exile
The writers Aslı Erdoğan, Stella Gaitano, and Mariam Meetra were all forced to leave their home countries for political reasons. Since then, they have continued their writing and activism in exile. In conversation, they describe their experiences and speak about the struggles they face to be heard. What drives them to remain committed to their convictions far from home? What role does writing play? And in what ways do the political structures of their host country shape how they think, feel, and act?
