black future imaginings – CANCELLED

Workshop by Virginnia Ogechi Krämer, Isabel Kwarteng-Acheampong
In the frame of Emerging Change Prologue

We, the femBlack Performance Collective, have decided to cancel the workshop and reduce our workload a bit. Between our different jobs and commitments we also need breaks. Right now we are working hard on the kick-off of our first production. We are very excited to make up for the workshop at another time in the context of Emerging Change. 
------------------------------
We would like to invite you to join us in imagining the future from black perspectives and to experience it physically. 
In a 2h workshop accompanied by a time meditation, small writing exercises, exchange and movement improvisations we want to try out different methods of imagining with our bodies.

We are a the FemBlack Performance Collective, a black queer feminist artist collective from Berlin. We work interdisciplinary with performative practices and deal with afrofuturistic narratives in the context of Black people in Germany. 

Virginnia Ogechi Krämer

Virginnia Ogechi Krämer (they/them) is a performer, writer, facilitator, and parent. Their interests range from embodied social justice to afrofuturism to cultural identity-focused artistic research and ritual. 2022 they were seen in their first solo „auf den weg zu mir/auf den weg zu dir“ at Sophiensaele, an installative performance about afrogerman poet May Ayim's poem sein oder nicht sein. In spring 2023 Virginnia was artist in residence at Emerging Change/Tanzfabrik Berlin where they presented their solo “hair pulling” (WT). Together with femBlack Performance Collective they premiered with their first production “another space/memory” at Berliner Ringtheater in Fall 2023. Their work currently emerges into new unknowns with a profound urge to integrate loss, genocide and (be)coming together. @dreamingginni
