About this performance
A storytelling evening with exiled journalists, writers, and artists from around the world — hosted by CORRECTIV.Exile.
One stage. Five minutes each. What does it mean to leave your home because speaking freely has become dangerous? How do people rebuild a life across borders? And what can these experiences tell us about freedom, democracy, human rights, and global inequalities?
At “Exile Talks: Stand Up!”, nine* journalists, writers, artists, and human rights advocates share personal accounts of exile, resilience, belonging, and hope — with honesty, humor, and heart. On this night, they share the stories that rarely make headlines — but deserve to be heard.
*Disclaimer: Some speakers are not part of this recording for personal security reasons.
Moderation: Anastasiia Romanova and Mushtaq Naseri The show took place in Berlin on June 17th, 2026. Exile Talks is CORRECTIV.Exile’s monthly event series highlighting the expertise, lived experience, and perspectives of exiled journalists and media professionals.
