Behind the affirmative title There is Nothing Wrong with People, but you cannot self-love your way out of systemic oppression' (TiNWwP) is a four-part artivist programme that advocates for mental health and social justice. 
This program explores how the personal is political, and the political is personal. It offers workshops, performances and talks that investigate how social conditions and mechanisms of oppression impact us. To counter the constant invisibilisation of marginalised voices, we choose to centralize personal stories and healing practices of people who experience systemic oppression.

We invite you, throughout this program, to actively participate in collective change and new codes of conduct, within and around yourselves. After this year of investigating our emotions and giving them space for anger, fear and grief to bloom collectively without judgment, we’re moving onto JOY. Yessss it is time to celebrate, babes!  Our two-day summer programme ends with a memorable Closing party - Joyful Joyful Joy.

• TiNWwP is curated by Johanna Couvée & Bouchra Lamsyeh and is a collaboration with Citylab Pianofabriek, Kaaitheater and a growing network of inspiring partners, healers, artists, activists. It was created with the support of the Vlaamse Gemeenschap and the Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie and with the presence of our beautiful audience.

In Exhibit A, Haddioui seeks to interweave her family history with History - from the intimate to the political, addressing questions of oppression through the prism of bodies on the margins. By putting the spotlight on invisibilised bodies, Haddioui invites us to question, in a furiously joyful performance, the mechanisms of oppression exerted on her body and that of her family members by capitalism, colonisation and patriarchy.

'‘Toxic Positivity’? can be described as the pressure to only display positive emotions, suppressing difficult emotions in favour of a cheerful and often falsely-positive façade. For this JOY edition of TiNWwP, we’d like to invite you to this talk with activists and artists to respond to this injunction to "positivity" that we may all experience.

The four editions of TiNWwP aim to connect bodies, minds, and souls and to collectivize the experience of our emotions; our anger, fear, grief, and joy. After collectively connecting to anger and fear previously, this Spring edition will be about GRIEF. What causes our grief? How could we be with our grief together?

The four editions of ‘TiNWwP’ take us on a journey connecting bodies, minds and souls to collectivise the experience of our emotions; our anger, fear, sadness and joy. After collectively connecting to our anger in September 2022, the Winter Edition of TiNWwP will be FEAR infused. What makes us fearful? And how do we transform fear into a fuel of excitement, self-compassion, and wisdom?
