In addition to visiting various literature networks and events, Baz gave a workshop at the Kulturbunker K\u00f6ln-M\u00fclheim and was a guest in the Contemporary Literature seminar with Professor Yasemin Day\u0131o\u011flu-Y\u00fccel at the University of Duisburg Essen and in the other<\/g> Literaturcaf\u00e9 of the Literaturhaus K\u00f6ln.

During her stay, four of her texts from the short story collection \u201cMisafir Evinde \u00d6lmek\u201d (Eng. Dying in the Guest House) were translated into German and Baz was able to complete her first novel \u201cYaz\u201d (Eng. Summer).<\/p>\n\n

A booklet will be published to accompany her residency, in which her story \u201cDer Zug Mavi Ekspres<\/em>\u201d (The Train Mavi Ekspres) can be read in German and Turkish and which gives a small insight into her exhibition. Booklet on request via milena@qah.koeln <\/p>\n\n
