    Kemetic Yoga in the exhibition
    With yoga teacher Tasha Quaynor

    We immerse ourselves in Kemetic Yoga (Smai Tawi), an ancient, holistic, Afrocentric form of yoga from the Nile Valley. This practice combines physical exercises, deep breathing and meditation. Together we learn to reduce stress, build physical strength and achieve mental clarity.

    Kemetic Yoga offers all practitioners a way to connect with inner peace and holistically enhance well-being. Regardless of previous experience, you are welcome to discover the transformative power of this movement.









    Suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners.
    Please bring a yoga mat.
    €15 per person.

    Maps that tell more – workshop in cooperation with vhs Frankfurt
    With Stephanie Endter, Head of Education and Outreach at the museum

    There are places that are of great personal significance to us. This is also true for the comic artists featured in the exhibition ‘SHEROES’. After exploring the exhibition, we will consider which places these are for us and how we can make them visible. What does a place need to make us feel comfortable? How do we navigate boundaries or forbidden paths? What changes when we stay in a place or have to leave it? Together, we will create maps to record the special meanings and our knowledge of an area
