"Radar" is an international literary magazine published in German, Polish and Ukrainian at Villa Decius from 2010 to 2014. The idea behind "Radar" was to create a common space for dialogue for writers from different parts of Europe doing literary residencies at Villa Decius. The innovative trilingual form of the magazine was particularly intended to present a tripartite perspective on experiences shared by Poles, Germans and Ukrainians. The poems, prose and essay texts as well as dramas by contemporary authors from Poland, Germany and Ukraine published on RADAR in trilingual translations are not only dialogues about fascinating artistic worlds, but also create a common cultural map of themes and experiences of artists and audiences from Central and Eastern Europe.
