From March to May 2025, a Westphalia-wide literature festival will take place under the title "aufbrüche - literaturfestival [lila we:] 2025". One contribution to the festival is the project "'Breaking down time boundaries' - literature in dialogue with literature". 51 authors from Germany, Italy and Austria respond in poems or short prose to literary texts by historical Westphalian writers. The Paderborn University Archive, which holds the estate of the Paderborn writer Jenny Aloni, will be one of the stops on the reading tour, where the anthology will be presented with the resulting dialogues. The reading will focus on responses to Jenny Aloni, as well as answers from the authors present on other Westphalian writers.
"aufbrüche - literaturfestival [lila we:] 2025" is a project of the literaturland westfalen network. It is sponsored by the LWL Cultural Foundation as part of the cultural programme for the anniversary year "1250 Years of Westphalia". The patron of this cultural programme is Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Other sponsors of the festival are the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Savings Banks Association of Westphalia-Lippe and the Cultural Foundation of Westfälische Provinzial Versicherung.
