In partnership with Safe Space, Rebelle, and Elegast, the women in Antwerp engaged in self-defence movements, songs, and texts to wrap up their meetings before the summer holidays.
In a very light and humoured atmosphere at Madam Fortuna, the participants practiced some postures under the guidance of the self-defence coach Leen Nicolas.
The second part of the evening was dedicated to writing. Guided through the process by Valérie Himschoot, the participants wrote and shared poems, such as Feitiço (from Maria Teresa). You can find more of our individual and collective creations at Women’s Traces.
During the recess between the workshops, the participants spontaneously started to sing ‘Lalla Bouya’, one of our performance soundtracks, and invited the new ones to join.
