‘If you see Mami Wata, oh, never never you run away.’ 

Join Megan for a workshop on Mami Wata, the Mother of Waters, to discover how the water goddess queers art, history and spiritual practice. 

Megan's research explores how Mami Wata inspires artists, writers, musicians and devotees around the world to reimagine the spiritual possibilities of everyday queer life and love within the context of African and Afro-Caribbean knowledges. We'll follow Mami Wata through precolonial West Africa, the Haitian Revolution, nineteenth-century Nigeria and Akwaeke Emezi’s contemporary fiction.

After Megan's talk we'll then get crafty by making our own devotional objects from everyday items in Nigerian tradition. Materials provided.
