Dürfen Schwarze Blumen Malen?
The focus of my talk is on how Afro-German/Black German writers and Black scholars like myself assert creative agency within structures that have historically constrained creative expression. Focusing on Sharon Dodua Otoo’s metaphor of “painting one’s own flowers” and May Ayim’s formal and linguistic interventions, I establish that choosing joy, ambiguity, and softness is not a departure from resistance but a redefinition of it. Drawing from my experience in German Studies, I consider how Black creators challenge imposed frames of identity, authorship, and legitimacy and what it means to remain truly unbowed and unbroken while creating freely in spaces not built for us.
