‘dirty nails (les ongles noirs)’ has been a sticky experimental thing happening between Dakar, Senegal and Birmingham, UK from 2024. It is an invitation to play, grieve, hum; throw soil on white walls; dance, pray, touch, and be moved by the unknown.

les ongles noirs experimenatal residency:

Across a week from 27 May 2024 Ayesha Jones, Ban Workshop, Ibrahima Ndome, Jade Blackstock, Maria Muehombo/ M I M I, melissandre varin, Sym Mendez/Sym Stellium and Wutangu will gather at Ban Workshop in Dakar, Senegal to take part in an experimental residency with artists’ rituals, public meals, performances, open talking circles, workshops and public sharings. This was designed by n:u with close collaboration with Ban Workshop, spiritual care coordinator Sym Stellium, and Eastside Projects. 

Everyone was welcome to join the artists on Thursday 30 May and Saturday 1 June, 4–8pm for two work-in-progress sharings and public dinners as part of #theOFFisON

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a les ongles noirs experimental residency project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
