Black Solidarity in a Global Context

In the spirit of Audre Lorde, who encouraged Afro-Germans to make themselves visible within a culture that kept them isolated and silent, we present a month of programming that explores the deep roots of Black art, activism, and cultural exchange between Germany and the US.

Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years

Dagmar Schultz's film documents a less-known chapter of Lorde’s life: her time in West Berlin and her influence on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change that included the fall of the Berlin Wall. Screening at Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung.

Florentina Holzinger: Apollon

In this dance performance at NYU Skirball, the renegade choreographer Florentina Holzinger and four women dancers tackle the neoliberal cult of the body, jumping between the aesthetics of an occult-fitness studio and a cyborg bullfight, with a hint of Balanchine's neoclasical ballet quartet Apollon.
