Raiffeisenwoche: "Vom Affen gebissen" - Lesung

Manuela Lowak will be reading from her latest book, *Bitten by a Monkey – Stories and Satires for Boomers*, at the Kulturhaus Hamm (Sieg). She will be accompanied by the guitar duo ‘Wunder & Blume’. Look forward to an entertaining evening of sharp satire, humorous stories and atmospheric live music – charming, surprising and anything but ordinary. Following the reading, Kunstforum Westerwald e.V. invites you to visit the exhibition “Freiheit der Kunst” (Freedom of Art). From 12 June to 12 July 2026, 17 regional artists will present their works, offering a striking insight into the diversity of contemporary creative output. The exhibition brings together photography, painting, sculpture and object art, and through its individual forms of expression opens up diverse perspectives on the theme of artistic freedom. Admission is free. About the author Manuela Lowak, born in 1959 in Wissen, lives in Linz am Rhein and is a member of the Kunstforum Westerwald e.V.
