September 22 @ 6:00 pm
Talk Talk Talk is a series of Audience podcasts that are a live moment with Audience in the MigrArt space as well as at a later time will be published on different online platforms as well as aired on local Zurich radio Radio LoRa on 97.5 MHz.
sharing m/othering practices
m/othering ourselves is a sharing about m/othering practices and their radical potential when seen as a possible action, more than a gendered identity. The act of m/othering – as a queer, radical and collective practice and a communal responsibility for caregiving – is imperative to building transformational change. tina omayemi reden has invited Serena Owusua Dankwa and Ivy Monteiro to share their m/othering ways, their caregiving practices and ideas on community spaces.

They are a natural shapeshifter, re- imagining and re-conceptualizing femininity, gender, social and race through (dis)identification from a post-colonial perspective. Ancestrality and Spirituality are reshaped and envisioned in queer futuristic pieces, where the artist reclaims and questions their space in our apocalyptical future.
