  • Can we see ourselves reflected in surfaces, structures and textures? Dorothee Krings (Berlin) has been, and continues to be, a photographer, amongst many other things. In recent years, she has organised private ‘trauma salons’, where participants could share personal perspectives on their own histories, their wounds and how they cope with them. For her, macro photography is an imaging technique that visually reveals what seems impossible: the deeper layers of time. Her images speak of the fragility of our world and, by extension, of our own vulnerability.

Esther is a psychotherapist and author from Rwanda who works with refugees in Germany. She is also a survivor of the 1994 genocide, where over one million Tutsi were murdered by Hutus. She speaks from two perspectives, as a trauma expert and as a survivor: beyond the meaning and impact of collective and transgenerational trauma. Esther talks about the meaning of good and evil in each of us and in the context of her life and what healing from such massive trauma entails. She shares experiences with us from her personal and professional life.
