K elly in the exhibition Whose Expression? at the Brücke-Museum\, moderated by Daniela Bystron.\n\nNadu (born 1955)\, a mask maker\, Naomi (born 1965) \, an actress\, and Maciré (born 1995)\, a student\, are three of eight pr otagonists who have in common that they are Black women* living in Germany and working in the art context. Their biographical narratives show to wha t extent the occupation with art\, in all its forms\, can serve as a 'reme dy' to alleviate emotional isolation and social oppression. For Black wome n* have always been eroticised and exoticised by the white male gaze. In t he works of many Expressionists\, which are considered 'classics'\, they w ere depicted merely as 'objects of desire'. The painter Ernst Ludwig Kirch ner\, for example\, did not so much seek to explore the anatomy of women*s bodies during the heyday of German colonialism. Rather\, he was concerned with feeling his own masculine power through the supposed 'nature-boundne ss' of his motifs. In 1911\, he painted the sleeping Milli lying naked on a couch. He only allowed his own potency to be a source of inspiration. Wh ile numerous art historians focus their analyses on Kirchner's sexual fant asies as well as his aesthetics\, the film delves into the world of though ts and feelings of his 'muse' and allows Milli to awaken symbolically. In interviews with filmmaker Natasha A. Kelly\, Black artists of different ge nerations have their say\, who in and through their artistic work have ove rcome the common colonial stereotypes and formed their own self-determined identity as Black women* within the white German majority society. They r eport on their challenges in and with German art institutions\, on visual representation and political and social exclusion. Where can their experie nces be built upon? Which strategies can be brought together? Which ones n eed to be rethought? Art thus not only forms the architecture of the film\ , but is also presented as the cornerstone for the social and political ac tionism of those involved in the project. In the bilingual publication of the same name\, the interviews conducted are printed in their full length. The aim is to show the significance of artistic creation from a Black fem inist perspective.\n\nDr. phil. Natasha A. Kelly is a freelance writer\, c urator and researcher. In her work\, she combines theory and practice and thus manages to create transfers between science\, society and politics. S he has also been involved in the Black German community for many years. In addition to her advisory work for various art institutions\, she is the a rtistic director of the theatre series 'M(a)y Sister'\, which has been per formed at the HAU Hebbel am Ufer theatre in Berlin since 2015. Her debut f ilm 'Millis Erwachen' (2018) screened at the 10th Berlin Biennale from Jun e to September 2018 and was presented at the Museum für Moderne Kunst MMK in Frankfurt from October 2018 to March 2019. With the publication of the same name and her simultaneous debut as a filmmaker\, she presents collect ive experiences and feelings of Black women artists in their diversity and interconnectedness\, contrary to the usual formats of the dominance socie ty\, so that the continuity of Black feminism in Germany becomes visible. \n\nwww.natashaakelly.com\n\n[figure Livestream-ActivationIII-Kelly] DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20220305T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20220305T180000 SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:Brücke Museum: Millis Awakening TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
