Research Center for Material Culture This event is dedicated to Mami Wata, a water divinity of Vodun, whose practice is spread across western, central and southern Africa, in the diaspora of the Caribbean and in the regions of northern and southern America: water spirits play a prominent role in practices of healing. Tania Christina Monteiro and Ayaovi Kokousse will open with a performance-as-offering to honor Mami Wata. Then, Monteiro will explain her project through an excerpt of a film she is working on. Finally, Monteiro and Kokousse will join Aminata Cairo, Kyrah Malika Daniels, and Annabel Guérédrat in conversation. https://www.materialculture.nl/en/events/copresences-mami-wata-afro-dutch-context
