Virginnia Ogechi Krämer and Isabel Kwarteng-Acheampong are giving this workshop as part of the femBlack Performance Collective.
We would like to invite you to join us in imagining the future from Black perspectives and making it physically tangible. In a 3-hour workshop, accompanied by a time meditation, small writing exercises, exchanges and movement improvisations, we want to try out different methods of imagining with our bodies.

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
