The Black German Heritage & Research Association in Africana Studies at Rutgers University-Camden and the Rutgers Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice, are pleased to invite you celebrate the Eigth International Conference.
This year’s three-day, virtual event, Rekinning, Reckoning, and Justice, will be held on February 20-22, 2025 and will be free and open to the public. Our annual BGHRA Conference theme asks, what is next for us? what does justice look like? We wish to consider reparative justice and how, using this framework, we can reckon with state violence and displacement, as well as with family rupture. How are we healing? The event will be held virtually from February 20-22, 2025. For more info & to register HERE!

Introducing:
THE MAWU LISA PROJECT
My name is Sophie Yukiko. I am a Berlin based artist reaching out today to learn about a possible cooperation for a project I am currently involved in and preparing for.
My friend and colleague Marie Zoe Buchholz – a German artist as well – has drafted out her new theatre Piece MAWU LISA. The dance centered piece will be produced in 2025 in co-production with Tanzhaus NRW in Düsseldorf, Germany and will be her first ensemble piece, as her previous works were Solo pieces so far.
For the MAWU LISA project, I take on the role as author/writer and dramaturgist. More Info:
