Synopsis: This is an experimental short film that deals with the resistance of two Black German women in my family and the forms of resistance that shape their lives. The protagonists are Sheila Mysorekar, who wrote the text ‘Resistance. Poetry of Survival,’ which she read aloud for this short film; the other is Diana Munyakazi, who danced her thesis ‘Coming Out’ on the subject of racism at the Palucca University of Dance in Dresden in 1992, the film adaptation of which was available to me as archive material. Both works of art merge in this short film to create a new work that not only reflects their resistance, but is also resistance itself.
