Haiti o Ayiti - online encounter

In 2019, Cecilia Lisa Eliceche & Leandro Nerefuh created Haiti o Ayiti, a dance performance in honour of Ayiti, its richness, its dances and its divine inhabitants. The performance in Brussels had to be cancelled twice in a row because of Corona. In the meantime, the artists created an online treasury of videos and texts. This practice lead to being in contact with artists who all deal with questions about what it means to study and work in the arts in the West when your own background is somewhere else. Together, they discuss the feeling of being displaced, the effects of cultural diaspora and the colonial undertones of 'contemporary dance'.

On May 7, workspacebrussels hosts an online discussion group regarding these topics. Attendance is possible through personal invitation only.
