Clowning: a workshop about clowning and the making of joy within the practice of solidarity and healing.
In this workshop, I will give a short introduction what Ancestral communication technology can be. And how art making can stimulate remembering and opening a window for ancestors. Finding ways to connect to those ancestral memories that cannot be found in texts or archives.
Themes such as 'women's challenges, sexuality and new environments' being highlighted in Parisa's visual work, she also believes in the power of co-creation through workshops.
For this workshop, our focus would be on exploring the basics of building a poem. Together, we will learn to utilize words as paint to tell stories/poems.
Rochita's workshop practice is influenced by Adrienne Maree Brown, by Edouard Glissant’s work on relationality, by Rolando Vazquez and various thinkers on decoloniality and decolonial practice. Her interest lies in stimulating and encouraging makers, thinkers and dreamers to explore beyond what is the comfort zone.
Bonjour! I’m maman Nasser, and I’m a proud mother of one child. I arrived in South Africa 6 years ago and I’m one of the women in the Congolese community. I'm living in Port Elizabeth and I'm a business woman who sells congolaise food. Since I was young, I was praying to be a brave woman and now I am how I wanted to be. Even if here in South Africa there are no jobs, I survive by selling food and working in the salon. Even if it’s difficult, I know everything will work out for me.

On Thursday June 10th 2021, we organized the panel "Co-creation Practices as Conditions for Belonging" for the interdisciplinary working conference "Studies of Belonging: Mapping Belonging as a field of study and establishing future networks" organized by the Netherlands Institute of Advanced Science (NIAS). Elena Ponzoni, Mimi Ocadiz, Fabian Holle, and Alex Greene presented four papers that illustrated how co-creation in research can be viewed as a condition for belonging.
After working for more than 20 years in academia, I was looking forward to a 6-month sabbatical in 2014 to write a major grant proposal. The plan was to go first to South Africa for a keynote address at a conference in January and then start my sabbatical. The weekend before my departure to South Africa, I got a call from my aunt in Iran that changed everything. The next thing I knew, I was on a plane to Tehran instead of Johannesburg.
