What can collective forms of care look like? What role do rituals play in health, what strength can be draw from singing, from finding one's own voice?
These events are part of our collaboration with the Haus der Kulturen der Welt as part of the School of Quilombismo, exploring health and healing through forms of collective care, solidarity and self-determination.

Dité Time
- A ceremony around bush medicine, creole garden and mindset by Simone Lagrand
It is a moment more than a performance. A moment to ritualize one of the most ancestral routines in Martinique: the herbal tea which is the final destination of a very short journey starting from the moment a Martinican wakes up in the morning, followed by the time spent in the jaden kréyòl [traditional garden organization], whether it's a real one or just a small place on a balcony. In this sort of tea ceremony every single object is a tribute to the creole kanman [way of life] but also an incantation for the future.

Canto Crudo
– A collective singing performance by Carolina Riaño Gómez
Canto Crudo is a solo project by Colombian singer Carolina Riaño, exploring traditional Latin American field songs in an interactive performance. Through the repetition of specific melodies and rhythms, the artist creates a sound dialogue with the audience that generates a sense of shared strength, harmony, and well-being, allowing to experience the healing power of the voice and collective singing.
