Ivonne is a afrocuban lawyer, musician, performer and afro-feminist activist. She is the director of the Noircir association in Geneva.
Ivonne creates and directs participatory performances amongst others with the collective “Black Guiris” on decolonial issues and negritude. These representations are a necessity, an oniric, political, artistic act that must be expressed without spatial limits, where blackness in all its nuances and forms has been postponed for so long.
