Following the talk on the tension between positioning and polarisation by Fatima Moumouni and Donya Speaks, the event moves to the hangout, where participants can reflect on and explore the topics further. First, LEGION SEVEN will present a powerful musical performance, followed by a set from DJ Madônja. Weather permitting, this will take place outside in the courtyard.

LEGION SEVEN is a storyteller and musician. Seven’s work serves as a means of breaking free from the biblical rigidity into which they were born. The ruins of this rigidity, peppered with dream mythology, science fiction, chaos logic and exuberant lies, form the path along which Seven gains momentum and displays it. Winner of the 2018 Basel Media Art Prize and the 2019 Basel Cultural Promotion Prize.

DJ Madônja’s musical style is inspired by her love for the folkloric and danceable music of the SWANA region that she grew up with. Her sets blend a variety of genres and cultures, weaving together Arabic pop and Arab piano sounds with the grooves of Amapiano, Kwaito, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. The music she plays is danceable, captivating, and at the same time deeply spiritual.
