In this workshop, we will share our learned tales, myths, legends and oral stories over a cup of tea, analyzing them from an intersectional feminist perspective.
We will reflect on its core message and symbology, empower each other as individuals and community to later create our own performative narration.
The complete workshop consists of 3 sessions and a final presentation at Vantaa Art Museum Artsi. However, there is an option for those who do not want to participate in the public presentation, to attend only for two first sessions. You can choose the option that suits you better in the registration form.

Young and adults interested in tales, identity, performance art, community, intersectional feminism and mythologies.
Q: Is it necessary to attend all the sessions of the workshop?
Yes if you want to participate with the group in the presentation
If you can not make it to the presentation you can assist only in the first two sessions.
The second session will be online if the group agrees.
Q: What language is the workshop in?
I will speak in English (but I am fluent in Spanish and I can understand basic Finnish and a bit of Swedish.) You don’t need to be an expert in English to participate but enough for communicating with the rest of the group.

We all perceive and experience differently, and all our contributions are valuable in different ways.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:
Kemê is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, and cultural worker based in Helsinki, Finland.
As an artist, she works through photography, performance, installation and text, exploring the complexity of our construction and the constructions we inhabit through concepts like memory, representation, the shadow, symbols, instability, the unconscious or tales.
Her current artistic practice, supported by The Arts Promotion Center Taike, focuses on the intersection between identity, art, community, intersectional feminism and the quality of tales and myths as an open-source.
Kemê’s latest performance “B o n e s” has been presented at Vantaa Art Museum Artsi, as part of the exhibition “The Posture of Impermanence”. It features an initiation rite, a form of mental resurrection, an act of magic, a powerful warning, or just a reminder of the multifaceted human condition. This performance art piece is rooted in one of the symbol-laden rituals still transmitted to us through tales, transcending arbitrary boundaries, eras and geographical locations.
