COVEN BERLIN reads the YEAR OF THE BOG on the Beach – THE PHOTOS

Daniela can be seen holding a microphone and paper. She is knee deep in water, reading. Her outfit is dark blue, light blue, and brown gauzy material floating on the water.

COVEN hosted this beautiful reading in the summer of 2022 on the beach with authors Zinzi Buchanan, Inky Lee, Daniela Medina Poch, and Meghna Singh. We selected their articles as some of our favourites out of our online magazine’s theme THE YEAR OF THE BOG.

We got to sink our feet into the wet ground and read these texts aloud at the Strandbad Tegelsee /Zentrum für Kultur und Erholung hosted by Neue Nachbarschaft/Moabit and Moabit Mountain College.

COVEN even wrote a boggy meditation for the occasion 🐸. Please enjoy these lovely images from the day!
