SNAP TALKS #01: BLACK SOLIDARITY

SNAP is the joint project space that brings Metro54, media platform Dipsaus Podcast and theatre collective and production house THEATERDEGASTEN in Amsterdam together. SNAP is a project space for art, dialogue, experiment, performance, reflection and intergenerational encounters.

On the 3rd of February, we held our first live show with guests Panashe Chigumadzi & Nyancho NwaNri, we focus on forms of Black solidarity, diasporic feelings and responsibilities and how music and oral stories ground our thinking around this contemporary moment.

Panashe Chigumadzi is an award-winning writer, scholar, and cultural historian writing across gender, geography and generation in her exploration of themes ranging from race, religion and spirituality, to African Philosophy and Cosmology, Black Consciousness, Black Feminism, Black Internationalism and Pan-Africanism.

Nyancho NwaNri is a lens-based artist out of Lagos, Nigeria whose work revolves around African history, culture, languages, spirituality and social issues.

This live show was possible with the generosity and collaboration of Bar Bario, the black owned queer space in Amsterdam.

SNAP presents a series of conversations around music, art, biographies and Black imagination. SNAP TALKS are fuelled by collective memories of culture-making: coming together to live, love, care and survive. With contributions by storytellers, hustlers, artists, activists, and thinkers who meet each other in a polyphonic (over)standing of dreams, historical colonial trauma and slavery legacies, street culture, humour, and everyday stories.
