Choreographer Yolanda Gutiérrez works with local dancers in various cities across Germany and around the world to create decolonial performative audio walks in the form of dance interventions in public spaces. Together, they explore each city’s colonial past through dance, historical facts, personal biographies and interviews. Equipped with headphones, the audience listens to the audio recordings from station to station and experiences a reinterpretation of history through site-specific physical interventions in public spaces, which come alive and take on a tangible presence.
URBAN BODIES PROJECT
Falls Interesse bitte hier erfragen: shapethefuture2021@gmail.com The Mexican-German choreographer Yolanda Gutiérrez has already presented the URBAN BODIES PROJECT in Hamburg, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Munich, Mexico City, Guadalajara and Kigali, working alongside local dancers and artists.
A production from yolanda gutiérrez & projects together and SHAPE THE FUTURE For a week, the children explore the public spaces around Planten un Blomen, immersing themselves in the city’s history. With curiosity and imagination, they invent new stories, discover hidden traces and explore the memories embedded in these places. Playfully and critically, they embark on a quest for clues from the past to the present. Their impressions ultimately give rise to a performative audio walk, in which invented and newly discovered places of memory are brought to life through voices, sounds and presence.

A produktion by yolanda gutiérrez & projects /SHAPE THE FUTURE together with KinderKinder e.V Which monuments are missing from public spaces – and how do the existing ones shape our thinking and our memories? In recent years, I have had the opportunity to leave artistic traces in urban spaces that open up a decolonising perspective. Together with dancers and performers from Mexico, Rwanda and Namibia, ephemeral monuments were created as part of the ‘URBAN BODIES PROJECT’ and ‘DECOLONYCITIES’ projects, in which women turn their own bodies into monuments. For brief moments, new forms of monumentality became visible in public space – beyond traditional cultures of power and memory. This gives rise to an alternative narrative in which women and BiPoC make their own mark and bring their stories to light themselves. This project is conceived as an ongoing practice that can be continually adapted to different locations and contexts.
