In this IMPAKT TV episode we welcome two of the stars of the main festival programme: Marijke de Roover will tell us more about the two performances she is staging at the IMPAKT Festival 2021: Live Laugh Limerence on the opening night and The Eggcelent Adventures of Marijke De Roover Part 1: A Womb of One’s Own on Saturday 6 November at 21:30. 

Cultural theorist and author Dan Hassler-Forest will join us to reflect on the performance/talk #blackgirlmagic: Janelle Monáe’s Queer Afrofuturism. In this richly illustrated talk, Dan Hassler-Forest invited photographer and Afrofuturist world-builder AiRich and dancer Taneesha Sijmons (themultifacetedwomxn) to discuss the artistic vocabulary of Janelle Monáe – including the notorious vagina pants of Monáe’s video PYNK. 

This episode is hosted by Rosa Wevers.
