Talk Talk Talk #6 sharing m/othering practices

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.
Ivy Monteiro is an educator and developer of practices and performative roles in Dance, Music and Theatre Performance, for small and big stages. They are a natural shapeshifter, re- imagining and re-conceptualizing femininity, gender, social and race through (dis)identification from a post-colonial perspective.

Serena O. Dankwa recently returned to academia as a lecturer and postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Social Anthropology in Basel. She holds an MA in African Studies from SOAS in London and earned her PhD from the U. of Bern. While working on these, Serena was affiliated to the U. of Ghana and held fellowships at Columbia University (NYC) and Yale University.

tina omayemi reden is a Zurich-based artist, cultural worker, organizer and lecturer. She primarily works in collaboration and is involved in collectives that focus on themes of collective care, intergenerational exchange, social justice, and community building.
