I'm delighted to be the recipient of an artist residency on the exclusive Berlin island of Schwanenwerder through the generosity of the Cordts Art Foundation. As the website explains, "Having lived in West Berlin 1988‑90 and taught in the former East Germany, she will be working on a book about her Stasi file which contains some unusual (and false) assertions. Susan will move into the residence on Schwanenwerder from May 2024 to the beginning of August and looks forward to reencountering Berlin while reflecting on its past." It truly is magical to be here and work on my book.
