#rp25 speaker Sarah Bosetti: Poetry against populism

According to Sarah Bosetti, almost all crises could be overcome if we faced them with honest common sense - which we fail to do with impressive consistency. In the fight against fake news, discrimination, and shifting discourse, she therefore disassembles some of the best and worst as well as absurd populist statements from well-known personalities. She fights populism with the sharpest weapon she has: poetry. At this year's re:publica, she will share insights from some of the most stunning sidelines of our discussion culture.

Sarah Bosetti is a satirist, author and reluctant feminist. Since October 2023, she has written and hosted the late night show ‘Bosetti Late Night’ on 3sat and ZDFSatire, for which she received the Grimme Prize and the German Television Award in 2024. She also hosts the extra3 podcast ‘Bosettis Woche’ (NDR), in which she discusses political events with prominent guests, writes books and tours the German-speaking world with her live programme.
