The workshop stems from Christian Guerematchi’s artistic research
Choreographer Christian Guerematchi and musician Shishani Vranckx both have roots in Europe and Africa. They are nourished by their own background and the voices and movements of the African diaspora. In NAM they go on an epic afro-futuristic journey to the Balkans.
NAM - Non Aligned Movement is the first part of the broader movement and voice research project Epistemologies of The Body, which focuses on narratives of the black body. The title is inspired by the 1960s movement of "nonaligned countries" that played a role in the independence struggles of so-called third world countries. Josip Broz Tito, the president of Yugoslavia was one of the founders of this movement. An important source of inspiration is the book Tito in Africa - Pictures of Solidarity. It describes Tito's attempts to decolonize the world.
