3.6000000 followers she's a star poetry volumes the bestsellers with millions of copies sold making her possibly the most successful poet of the present day since her ascent publishers have been desperately searching for the next big thing a digital knight sheepman poet to rival his success sales of english language poetry are up 50 percent and female readers and writers under 30 at the reason why . it's not just english kareena munich germany is another insta polish is not afraid to publish their most intimate feelings on the web. as friends emotion been made words on it so i think it's lovely when people tell me that my text helped them through a rough time. makes me so happy that this is for me it's actually kind of surreal when my writing can do that it takes the words was also. writers like kareena eckel don't need the critics approval to be rewarded with lines as long as they work

clicks with readers online or off i don't need to get a good review feel bad ones. day is a pakistani video art is based here in berlin and currently has a retrospective margin call b.s. bow and here she is in one of her video installations reading the news as a pakistani news reader and then as an india news read the news is the same but with a different slant of course an indian has taken an egg from a pakistani head or a pakistani has taken an egg laid by an indian hand and this box and international crisis. now of course there's much more but i'm just. a

satire on the divisions between pakistan and india or actually much more. well a bit autobiographical because my parents are originally from india who migrated to pakistan so it is that's why it's me on both sides of the border so it's split identities. and the politics of this post national this nationalist sentiment of separating languages on one upmanship whether it's the nuclear arms or you know casual jokes or ethnic humor. it's got something we live with in south asia it's very much part of our identity now you're quite critical about pakistan i mean one example is the installation or is that your exhibition earlier today and the one you've done about these 150000. laid out for a special occasion to to the national day the national average then it was the last moments of government incompetence if you like i wondered you do have

manipulation about spin. and if the nation and architecture and cities which creates borders between classes and people and between different ethnicities. so it carries through all the one about people going through the yellow lines is more about people waiting for visas actually now you came to berlin 8 years ago on a scholarship and decided to stay why did you stand berlin what's it about berlin what i think that's something that a lot of people who come on the day are day but in a constant program end up staying so that's a funny thing but in my case it is my ex-husband is indian and my son is has an indian passport i'm pakistani and it kind of served us and it's to be in a neutral country in a city more difficult for the 2 of you to live yeah you know one of those cities let's have a look at some still photos archie decide to see the one behind me now these were
