Author Karima Bouylud presents her novel HØST, which follows the adopted Anna on her first journey back to Ethiopia in 30 years to find her roots. Her encounter with her homeland and biological mother becomes both eye-opening and painful, transforming Anna's understanding of the world.
Through the lecture, Bouylud explores central themes from the novel: identity, gender and sexuality, mother-daughter relationships, cultural belonging, racism, colonialism and pan-Africanism. A profound conversation about migration, adoption and self-perception.
