Ini. Performance by Odun Orimolade

Ini Performance by Odun Orimoldae 3 March 2026 Transdisciplinary artist and researcher Odun Orimolade is fascinated with space. In her practice, she explores human behavioural tendencies, orientation and interaction as mechanisms for navigation. Her performance centres around the theme of water and was further developed for the context of the symposium. About the Symposium “Rethinking the South” 3 – 5 March 2026 Rethinking the South addresses the central issues of our time: the consequences of colonial history, life in increasingly densely populated cities and the effects of climate change. The three-day symposium invites participants to develop new perspectives on global interrelationships. The event marks the conclusion of a three-year thematic residency programme initiated by the foundation KfW Stiftung in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Salvador-Bahia at Vila Sul (Brazil). Based in the region of Bahia and its strong Afro-diasporic influences, KfW Stiftung and Vila Sul designed a transcontinental residency programme that addressed questions of social coexistence. During the symposium in Frankfurt, artists, thinkers and indigenous activists discuss their work, experiences and research approaches in film and performance contributions as well as moderated discussions. How do different realities of life and forms of knowledge shape our understanding of the world?
