Enis Maci, Eiscafé Europa

When did Europe's ghosts return? And how can we dispel them? In Eiscafé Europa, Enis Maci weaves together memory, politics, literature, and history, creating a tapestry of a threadbare continent. She retraces a youth spent among the ruins of the coal age, and turns to gender traitors and enemies of the state – Joan of Arc and Sophie Scholl, Albania’s long-gone sworn virgins and the Jewish nun Edith Stein. Maci questions mother tongue and origin, and dissects the Identitarian Movement’s fascist lineage, media strategies and make-up techniques. Eiscafé Europa is a work of poetic precision.
