DEEP DIVE is a community and empowerment workshop by the multidisciplinary artists and siblings Adam and Amina Seid Tahir that delves into the inspiration for their piece SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT BRAIDING MY WAY HOME and explores connections to the works of Jacolby Satterwhite, shown in the exhibition WE ARE IN HELL WHEN WE HURT EACH OTHER at Deichtorhallen and Kampnagel, which also engage in topics of the body, healing and spirituality.
Together with the participants they reflect on (Black) Hair, shapeshifting and dorsal practices and examine their potential as Black technologies of transformation and belonging. Both, the workshop and the piece were inspired by American writer, poet, and activist Alexis Pauline Gumbs' book "Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals" which poetically weaves together the transformative adaptive practices and survival strategies of marine mammals with meditations and Black feminist practices. Together you will read, write and meditate on grounding practices. The workshop will end with a joint picnic in the park close to Kampnagel.
