Simone Dede Ayivi

(Berlin)

First Black Woman in Space

Mousonturm Saal

Performance

Travelling back in time from Afrofutura to the world of 2016, Simone Dede Ayivi joins forces with strong women of colour, dreaming of, fighting for and joyfully building a new post-racist and feminist future. Black female role models were never rare – merely underrepresented.
It’s hard to stop rebels that time travel. In
German.
