i’m growing fur is a multilingual reading series for poetry and translation in Hamburg, curated by
Jonis Hartmann & Ayna Steigerwald since 2025.

i'm growing fur wants to help to facilitate new interdisciplinary networks and to help authors who are looking for exchange to gain more visibility and self-confidence in the cultural landscape of Hamburg and beyond. We give resonance to the words.
i'm growing fur wants to turn to this process and its mediation, together with a curated selection of authors and readers who want to engage in a mutual solidarity experience with the audience. We come together, we're growing together – a fur of verses to arm ourselves. We surround ourselves for warmth.
