The Feminine and The Foreign - Rhein- Main: Trailer Up Now!

The trailer of the ‘Rhein-Main’ chapter of our documentary film ‘The Feminine and The Foreign’, made with the kind partnership of the Wiesbaden Biennale, is out now! This visual edition, one of two made at the same time, explores and honors the work of Black artists, community workers, activists and thinkers living and working in the Rhein-Main area, exploring the current and evolving foci of movement work, community strengthening, healing and future-making happening across generations of Black activism, organizing and resistance.

The Nest at The Wiesbaden Biennale 2022

The Wiesbaden Biennale takes place at the Wiesbaden State Theatre in the city of Wiesbaden, located in the Hesse state, Germany. The festival aims to celebrate and foreground differences in all possible forms via showcasing new works, perspectives, and aesthetics! We were honored by the invitation to attend this festival, via the extension of our exploration with the Feminine and The Foreign. With the festival as co-producers, we were able to add two new chapters exploring black resistance, organising, strategy, healing and love: one looking at the wider Rhein-Main area near Hesse, extending to Frankfurt, and another exploring similar work in our home, here in Nairobi, Kenya!
