Growing up in the theater
scene (her father is theater-maker Paul Koek), Bobbie has worked
as an actress in theater plays, movies
and series ever since finishing high school. Among others, she
played in the One Night Stand movie 'Au Cigogne!', directed by
Margien Rogaar and had a fixed role for six years in the TV-series
'Kinderen Geen Bezwaar' by VARA. In 2010 she decided to stop
with the series, as she wanted to advance as a producer. She was
accepted
at the Netherlands Film Academy, for the program Directing Fiction.
Bobbie still has a special admiration for acting, which is why
she focused on stage directing during her studies. After completing
her studies, she worked as a casting director, actress and assistant
director for the movie 'Layla M.' by Mijke de Jong. She was intensely
involved in the casting and research process and prepared the
rehearsals with regards to content. Therefore, she worked closely
with Mijke
and the actors Ilias Addab and Nora El Koussour for one and a
half years. Afterwards, Bobbie worked as a casting director at
Oi Mundo
Casting. In September 2016, she made the short film 'TAMU', which
was selected for the debut competition of the Netherlands Film
Festival in 2017 and for the 14+ competition at the KUKI film
festival in Berlin. At the moment Bobbie is developing various
projects,

housekeeper and nanny. In 1994 she filed for divorce and received a
French passport. She was also able to send for her three daughters
to live with her in France. In the same year Milouda attended literacy
courses where she encountered theatre and poetry slam for the first
time. From 2008 to 2010 she appeared on stage herself as a poetry slammer
in small theatres in Paris. In subsequent years she developed her own
works and staging. Her slams are full of the optimism of freedom, love
and personal dreams. By telling her her own life story, she helps and
strengthens women in defending themselves against domestic violence
and opening their lives to new possibilities. She received the Ordre
des Arts et des Lettres from the French Cultural Ministry in July,
2012, for her life’s work and extraordinary creativity. Tata
Milouda continues to tour through France, Belgium and Morocco and is

Rakieta Poyga
Film: Jaha’s Promise
Q&A:
Friday, 24.11.2017, 6:00 pm, Studio Museum
Rakieta Poyga was born in 1960 in Ouahigouya, Burkina Faso. From
1984 to 1994, her study of economics brought her to Germany, in
the former GDR. The excruciating pain and complications Rakieta
experienced during the birth of her first child due to her circumcision,
led her to ground the organization “Association Bangr Nooma” which
means “There is nothing better than knowledge”, in
1998. Central to Bangr Nooma’s work are the campaigns to
educate and convince people in the rural villages and the poor
suburban neighborhoods of the capital Ouagadougou against Female
Genital Mutilation (FGM). In Burkina Faso, more than 76% of the
girls and women are affected by FGM. One focus of the organization
lies in the training and education of local influential people,
who function as multipliers. This includes village and religious
leaders, teachers, police, representatives from women’s organizations,
traditional midwives, and most importantly, former circumcisers.
Poyga’s organization has been supported by TERRE DES FEMMES since
its inception. Additionally, for over 20 years, Rakieta Poyga has been
active with the GIZ (the Germany Society for International Cooperation),
where she, among other things, leads a project for integrated forest
management in Burkina Faso. Furthermore, with the support of the “Aktionsgemeinschaft
Solidarische Welt” and the “Aktion Weltkinderhilfe”,
Poyga founded a educational center for young women and men.

special support to those women who are able to make significant changes
through their personal commitment. Through its projects, WJAR creates
space for women to build up new lives free of patriarchal violence and
oppression. Meike Nack lived on site together with these women for a
year and now wishes to create a bridge between the women in Europe and
those in the Middle East. Meike says the following about the necessity
of the project: “Many people want to stay in Rojava no matter what
the conditions. They would rather stay there to help with reconstruction
work instead of becoming a refugee in other countries.“ Today Meike
