#3 How to Keep Going with Broken Hearts?
With Şeyda Kurt, Alice Hasters, D-Dur Dykes*
What sustains us when so much seems lost? In her books, the journalist and author Şeyda Kurt has repeatedly explored political emotions – tenderness, anger, hatred – not as a private matter, but as a starting point for social change. She distinguishes between emotions that paralyse and those that sustain. The latter keep us moving forward, rather than causing us to freeze, on the path towards a fairer society.
In her books, journalist and author Alice Hasters describes how vulnerability is socially negotiated, devalued or exploited – and how closely this is linked to the rise of harshness and authoritarianism. Her question is not merely how to name crises, but what remains possible beyond hardening attitudes: what strength lies in solidarity and vulnerability when both are socially despised?
In conversation, Şeyda Kurt and Alice Hasters ask: What does resilience mean when certainties crumble? What does resistance look like when it focuses not on victory but on holding firm – and how does shared heartache become a sustaining force? The evening concludes with D-Dur Dykes* – queer choral singing bridging the community and the big stage
