8 years after her first encounter with BONE and Bern, radical artist Va-Bene aka crazinisTartisT returns as a curator and invites Marcella Nuerkie Akuetteh from Ghana. She calls it an act of shifting the global North-South binary, as a transcultural collaboration in the light of historical geopolitical divisions and cultural imperialism.
That night, Marcella concludes her 10-day residency with a presentation and meets Germaine Sophie Sollberger, an artist from the Schwobhaus community, who in turn is currently dedicating her performance work to the idea of "post-Helvetic". An attempt of an encounter with an open outcome.
In addition, BONE is also producing art work in Ghana itself, which is why a Zoom session with the Ghanaian artists Va-Bene, Akpene Deku and Austin Nortey will open the performance evening, presenting their performance work abroad.
What's more, Alissa Tschanz will be cooking the politically controversial Borschtsch – with the material of her performance on 2nd of December - for real this time, opening up the culinary axis to the Global East.
STUDIO BONE
All days! Marcella is an emerging interdisciplinary artist from Ghana focusing on fashion, performance and theatre costume, spending a full 10 days as a resident at BONE 2024, invited by Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi (crazinisT artisT). Her work investigates and explores the cultural relationship between textiles, identity, nature and the sense of belonging.
In the run-up to BONE, collaborations are taking place with Bla*Sh Bern, Cafe Revolution and Living Room to make Marcella's stay more round and sustainable.
The 26th edition of the international performance festival stretches over 10 days, creating space for a lot of informality, exchange and the in-between. Each day is curated by different artists and invites the audience to different contexts on the periphery. In a destabilized world the festival is dedicated to letting go and sliding into new fragile states of uncertainty and enduring them.
This event was made possible by financial support from the City of Bern, the Canton of Bern and the Temporatio Foundation.
