lyonga, hn

hn. lyonga is a Black, Queer, interdisciplinary writer, Poet, and previously the Neighbour in Residence at Gropius Bau. “I live and work in Berlin. I have lived in other places – and they are still present in my body, my writings, and in my life in the diaspora. I have not come or arrived here on my own. I have arrived on the shoulders of others. My work focuses on writing, storytelling, community, ways of being and existing in space, and migrational inquiries pertinent to historically colonized and marginalized communities. Among other things, I am a neighbor, a (livelong) student, co-coordinator and a member of the curatorial board of BARAZANI.berlin – Forum Kolonialismus und Widerstand, and a member of the Field Narratives Collective, working on ideas of rural biographies, transgenerational and cross-continental storytelling.” hn. lyonga’s current co-curation titled Wor(l)ding Dreamers is open at the Galerie im Turm, Berlin.
