Yvonne Sembene is a dance maker and critical observer based in Berlin. Her practice focuses on colonial influences in contemporary identities, especially in the European and German context, as well as decolonial-feminist discourses. In parallel to her artistic work, she is invited to contribute to local cultural-political discussions in labs and exchange formats. In 2023, she was particularly involved with the topics of German identities and white ethno-nationalism, emerging artists and accessibility. She also supports other artists in categorizing their work in a socio-cultural context and formulating applications. At Ballhaus Naunynstraße, she can be seen as a dancer in Junctions (2022) by Nasheeka Nedsreal and in Caminhos Das Águas – Unaufhaltsames Fließen (2024) by Fernanda Costa.
