Community und Cornrows Ein Nachmittag von und für Schwarze Communities im Rahmen des Black History Month

In the organizer's words:

Black engagement has a long history in Heidelberg - and Black communities continue to write this history day by day. This event offers the opportunity to get to know different groups and organizations, discover their focal points and create new synergies. The focus is on questions such as: Who actually does what? What services are there for people in the African diaspora? A space for networking is created in a relaxed atmosphere. A cornrows workshop with Janina, founder of Karité Classics and Natural Hair Advocate, will be held in parallel to teach the art of braiding. Cornrows are not only a stylish protection for Afro curls, but also a symbol of cultural identity and Black empowerment. Since 2019, Janina has been giving workshops to share knowledge about Afro curl care and to empower Black people in their hair care and identity.

Please register for the workshop by 20.02.25 by email to afrofestival@migrationhub-heidelberg.org

Black History Month 2025 is taking place in Heidelberg for the third time. Organized by Afro-diasporic communities, it also focuses on the perspectives of Black people in Heidelberg.
