The Black Queer body remembers – From Tambú to the club
Friday
11:45 - 12:30
Blauwe Zaal - Stadsschouwburg
Sound & Culture Summit
In The Black Queer body remembers, Naomie Pieter invites the audience on a journey through Caribbean rhythm, memory, and spiritual resistance. Drawing from the ancestral dance tradition of Tambú, the sonic rebellion captured in the documentary Bubbling Baby, and the contemporary urgency of Pon Di Pride, this keynote-performance explores how Black queer bodies carry history, pain, and joy through movement & sound.
Through storytelling, archival material and rhythm, Pieter asks: What does the Black Queer body remember that history tried to erase? In this 45-minute lecture-performance, the stage becomes a site of healing, joy, protest, and time travel
