Ĩ NDAFFA # -BRUNHILDA, the forging midwife
MEMBRANES and INTERVIEWS
According to the topic Ĩ NDAFFA #, I love the idea of joining the “needed birthing of a new world”.
As a German artist, I find my sources of creation in Africa. In my cooperation with Jems Koko Bi at Abidjan and during my working period in Cape Town, I realised a new dialogue with the material and a fundamental connection between body, colour and the power of life. I was encouraged by the strong African women to trust my vital forces that had been buried by European education.
In my INTERVIES in Dakar I am looking for an exchange regarding the African origin of the “Archetype of the Mother. I am curious about the recent role models of a new humanity, overcoming the destructive patriachalic patterns. “Brunhilda”, as a forging midwife, is the patroness of this transformative process, where we get rid of fear and hate and become able to see.
The MEMBRANES are kind of magical instruments to empower people for a common and shared future based on clarified conditions.
