Programme: DAY 2
25.5.25 11 am - 1pm Joyful connections: Movement Session with Nina Sandino

In this two hour session we’ll explore the joy that arises in connection—with ourselves, each other, and the world that surrounds us. Through movement and interactive exercises with the elements of water, air, fire, and earth, we’ll cultivate a sense of play, belonging, and shared joy. This is a space to reconnect, support one another, and celebrate the power of community.

Invitation Policy: This workshop is open for all BIPoC artists and cultural workers and will be centered around queer, femme & trans BIPoCs. The session will be held in English. Please let us know when you register if you need a translation or if you have any additional accessibility requirements for the workshop.

Nina Sandino (she/they) is an architect and movement artivist, working independently as an eco social designer, choreographer/performer and dance facilitator. Their practice focuses on Afro indigenous queer futurism and ancestral communal knowledge. Nina's work is moved by the urgency of artistic expression as a political action, and is interested in holistic practices, where rest, pleasure and joy work as radical tools for personal and collective empowerment.
