About the artists:

Lennart is an interdisciplinary artist who focuses on the body, identity and presence. Lennart's work combines painting, text and performance with feminist, decolonial and queer perspectives.
Through color, word and body, Lennart creates spaces in which self-image, vulnerability and empowerment become visible. @lennartsspace is therefore more than an artistic project - it is a place of resistance, healing and self-representation.

Melchi Vepouyoum is a singer-songwriter from Cameroon who has been living in Bonn for several years. He sings in his mother tongue Bamoun and his youth language Camfranglais, a mixture of English, French and local Cameroonian languages, as well as in French and English.
In his songs, Melchi recounts his experiences in his parents' village and his youth in the big city. In doing so, he describes the current realities of Cameroonian society. He talks about daily life in the villages, the situation of women and children and the importance of solidarity and love.
