Verzopft
Workshop on performative installation
Combed, plaited, bound: in the performative installation ‘Verzopft’, the act of plaiting hair becomes a search for traces of care, ideals of beauty and social connections. Starting with five bodies, a web of hair, stories and memories grows through the space, gradually taking it over. ‘Verzopft’ explores what braids signify in culture and society, and what they reveal about gender roles, power and female knowledge. Anyone who wishes to do so is invited to join in braiding the installation and to weave in their own materials or memories.

We’d love to learn from you! On 17 and 18 October, we’re inviting all women* to join us for some braiding, to share stories, meet new people, or simply to be there. Your experiences and knowledge may – but don’t have to – form part of the performance ‘Verzopft’. 3.30 pm – 6.30 pm each day.
*‘Women’ here refers to all FLINTA people
No registration is required. Anyone who’d like to bring something along is very welcome to do so. Open to people of all ages.
