The Makeup On Men Trend is more than a cute picture/video our algorithm recommends to us; it is a reminder that makeup is form of art, a reoccurrence of a previous fashion trend for men, a reaffirmation of flexible gender roles, identities and gender-affirming care; and it might honestly be a trend men are (very) interested in taking part in.

This piece is prompting us to rethink our desired outlook of this trend by revealing what it is actually teaching us as a society.

VIVANTES is a contemporary dance performance about healing after violence in an intimate relationship. Created in Abidjan by Marie Bonnefois, the performance follows six dancers who embody different versions of the same woman as she finds her way back to herself.

As VIVANTES comes to Ghana, the collective is inviting Ghanaian women to become part of the piece.

The final section of the performance features the voices of women declaring the things they will no longer apologise for. As VIVANTES travels from country to country, these voices will grow into a collective chorus.

We want to hear yours.

Write a short text beginning with:

“I will no longer apologise for being [your name].”

Then continue:

“I will no longer apologise for…”

Write about anything you no longer want to apologise for ie your voice, your body, your softness, your anger, your joy, your desires, your faith, your boundaries, your existence.

End with:

“I will no longer apologise for being alive.”

You can write in English, Twi, or any language you feel most yourself in.

Then record yourself reading your text in a calm, natural voice and send us your voice note with your full name, as you would like it to appear in the credits.

Every woman who contributes will be credited in the performance’s end credits.

And if you want to explore movement with us, join Drama Queens Ghana x VIVANTES Collective for a movement and dance workshop at Alliance Française Accra on 1 October.

No dance experience is needed. All bodies, experiences and expressions are welcome. Come as you are. Move freely. Take up space.

You are invited to be part of the chorus.
We will add a form for Registration in our bio under the name (VIVANTES)

As we come upon Founders’ Day, we want to share some of our Sheroes with you.

Ghana, like many nation states, was built on the sweat and intellect of many more people than we celebrate on days like Founders’ Day.

For us at Drama Queens, we are aware that Erasure of the efforts of women in the annals of history is a form of violence against women and a disservice to the women who came before us.

For the next few days, we will be sharing some of the badass women who contributed to Ghana’s independence, political history, cultural identity and nationhood, and invite that you do the same with us, with each other and your respective communities and networks.

The women whose stories we will be sharing and the resources around them form part of our ‘Sheroes of Independence’ series.

We are here. We are feminist. We organize. And we are tired.

We are taking a radical rest / break from 1st - 14th September 2026.

We hope to come back to active organizing with renewed energies, strengthened connections, and fierce determination to dismantle the patriarchy and all harmful institutions in our society.

We hope you rest too🩷🩷

Thank you all for coming out to see ‘The Case Against Nobody’. We are constantly blown away by your support and your gratitude of the spaces we create.

We love love to curate spaces of expression and narrative change. A thousand flowers to the entire cast for putting theirs hearts and soul into this. The dialogue was heavy because it is such an apt reflection of lived experience which is why it was so important that we captured the joy too.

Big fans to Oteanankanduro and Christian for designing and running lights cos what scenic magic. Props to Jude Buckman for sound design and to 𝓑💫𝓝𝓝𝓔𝓨 for the media inserts.

Photo credits are to the Alliance Française d'Accra media team and to Pdas Duah The Money blessed Kid and Duah Artistry Media for capturing all the video footage.

The magic that Oteanankanduro and Efe Favour created in both dramaturgy and direction is most commendable. ‘The Case Against Nobody’ was produced by Michaella Gyatsen gyatsen

Catch you all at the next production
