Take a breath, sis! Workshop with Kanvie Winter
Public program #1 with Kanvie Winter
Take a breath, sis!
On Saturday March 25th we warmly invite Black women to exhale what no longer serves them!
This session is a practical extension of the exhibition SELFHOOD: A Manifestation of Wholeness by Aqueene Wilson. Where the exhibition hones in on individual documentations of Black women, the workshop relies on communal practices of restoration in its many forms.
For this session we have invited Kanvie Winter. She is African Liberian, born and raised in the Netherlands. Kanvie is passionate about dance, The Most Highest Creator, self expression and children. During the week she teaches in elementary and high school, which uplifts her spirit by being in a learning environment. Kanvie organizes "movement & meditation = medicine" sessions, always filled with powerful energy.
The workshop will start off with a guided meditation and prayer. After collectively engaging with body movement exercises, we will have a collective conversation about Black womanhood. By making space for our stories, (ancestral) practices, and rest, we actively contribute to the durability of Black womanhood.
So pull up with your softness to move, meditate, breathe and daydream in a space surrounded by the works of Aqueene Wilson.
Date: March 25th, 2023
Time: 12:00 -14:00
Location: Gemaal op Zuid, Pretorialaan 141
Good to know: this session holds space for Black women of all ages, complexions and backgrounds. Come beautiful and comfortable and don’t forget to bring a notebook and something to keep your body warm! Please bring a yoga mat if you have one yourself, otherwise you can borrow one in het Gemaal op Zuid.
This public program is free of charge. We do kindly request you to sign up via leanaboven@gmail.com to RSVP as there are limited spots available.
