black future imaginings – CANCELLED

Workshop by Virginnia Krämer aka Ogechi, 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.

Significant aspects of her work include embodied research, healing practices, and an attempt to use words (spoken and written) as containers for inventories and nuances of these processes. 2022 year Virginnia Krämer was featured in her first solo “auf den weg zu mir/auf den weg zu dir” at the Sophiensälen. She collaborated with Nima Sené on this multimedia, installation-based performance referencing the poem of the same name by Afro-German poet May Ayim. As a co-founding member of the FemBlack Performance Collective, Virginnia was part of Afropolitan's performance residency. She has collaborated as a performer at Kampagel, GropiusBau, Uferstudios, as well as Ballhaus Naunynstraße and Etage, and has directed various projects at the intersection of artistic research and dance education. She is currently curating a decolonial movement laboratory by and for Black adopted people with the support of Dis-Tanz-Solo as well as the #takeheart research funding.
