Eight artistic Voices in a non-linear conversation about the intersection of past/present/future and the transformative possibilities of reassembling narratives for our future environment.
Linear timelines are cancelled. We are surrounded by voices, thoughts, organisms, systems of order, master plans, microcosmos, the invisible, the past, the living world, 4.55 billion years old stones, and all that we can not recognize. How do we "make sense", how can we communicate with it, how can we think of a common future?
Eight young artists from both hemispheres work together on the project RELOCATING NARRATIVES, exploring different levels of perspective and perception. Augmented reality, sound, poetry, and performance allow us to discover and link new narratives beyond linearity. We invite you to an evening without order and answer. Together we want to raise new questions and practice transformation: It remains complicated.
Relocating Narratives features works of:
Greta Ingabire
Louise Mutabazi
Kivumbi King
Yannick N. Kamanzi
1key
Natacha Muziramakenga
Alla Popp
Sarah Wenzinger

“It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.”
