DECOLONOIZE presents:
OY (Avantpop, Electronica, Afrobeats) with Nkech and MDT
POETRY + CONCERT
DO 24.10, 20H ACUD Club
Decolonoize Berlin is inviting you to a night of poetry & music. Our goal as a collective is to create spaces that recognize and support BIPoC artists. We design spaces of mindfulness where we create a better world and promote meaningful exchange. As in every event of this year’s poetry and concert series, we open with powerful contributions from poets creating an atmosphere of reflection and empathy. It will be followed by the Duo OY’s danceable and colourful show — a celebration of diversity and full of positive energy.
Poets:
MDT @abbacusmyignition
MDT’s writings of notions and poetry are deeply rooted in nature and indigenous heritage, reflecting the rich tapestry of an intertwined cultural background and intriguing travels.
Nkech @nkw_space
NKW, or Nkechukwu, is a multi-disciplinary writer, artist, curator- human hybrid.
“I am a storyteller first, inspired by patterns journeys, and the exploration of communal and self-identity within the human experience”
Band:
OY @oymusic
The Berlin-based duo with roots in Ghana and Switzerland thrill audiences on stages around the world at festivals such as Eurockéenes in France, Rec Beat in Brazil, or clubs in downtown Cairo and New York. Singer/keyboardist Joy Frempong and producer/drummer Melodydreamer have been making music across all musical, linguistic and cultural boundaries for a decade. Therefore the title of their current album “World Wide We” came quite naturally. Polyglot negotiations of political and personal themes are musically woven into catchy songs. From Electronica Afrobeat Avant-Pop to Hip-Hop, Trap and Jazz - the music of OY is more versatile and unified, stylistically more open and independent than ever. “World Wide We” is an open invitation to dance all clichés into the ground at the duo’s acclaimed concerts.
