Our Undersongs: On Love, Grief and Regeneration
Lecture Talks & Workshops Social/Urban Movements
In this immersive session, the audience will be invited to listen to a newly written poetic/narrative text by myself that engages with the poems of Audre Lorde (which are less known than her essayistic work) and bell hooks‘ work on love, grief, transformation and regeneration. I will invite the audience to open up and dwell in a space of self-reflection and self-compassion, grounded in an acknowledgment of and homage to Black feminist radical thought and practice.

Kathy-Ann Tan is the founder of Mental Health Arts Space Berlin (www.mhasberlin.com), a non-profit arts/project space that centers the mental health, well-being, experiences, knowledges, histories and narratives of BIPoC and marginalised artists, and cultural workers. She is interested in alternative models of art dissemination, exhibition-making and institution-building that are attuned to issues of social justice. Her practice is informed by a desire to create accessible spaces and formats of conversation, sharing and discussion outside of academia. She is also the initiator of Decolonial Art Archives ( www.decolonialartarchives.com), a forum for artists and curators who interrogate colonial narratives and amplify histories of decolonial struggle, imagination and freedom.
