Networking & exchange for Black people in the cultural sector
The Schwarze Kantine is a space for Black theater makers to meet and exchange ideas. We cordially invite all Black cultural workers to come together and create a platform for networking and empowerment. To mark the end of Black History Month, we want to talk about art and politics in a cozy atmosphere, inspire each other, share challenges and form alliances. The event is aimed at all Black artists and Black people working in the cultural sector who want to share their work, network professionally or exchange ideas about Black cultural production.

Simone Dede Ayivi developed performances with her accomplices in cooperation with the Sophiensæle, the Künstlerhaus Mousonturm Frankfurt and the Festival Theaterformen. Among others, she directed at the Schauspielhaus Graz and the Theater Oberhausen. In 2022 she received the Tabori Award of the Fonds Darstellende Künste. Ayivi's performances discuss issues of representation, resistance, and community. Her works are curious, primarily interview-based research projects that bring search movements to the stage in a technically playful way, with an open use of theatrical means.
