Savanna Ni’chael Morgan

I'm a Berlin-based neo-folklorist, musician, poet, and researcher from East Texas. I came to Berlin in Fall 2020 to earn a Master's in Performance Practice, and have since joined Archive Ensemble where I am an editor and performance-researcher. My recent research and music practice invokes the blues as a musical container holding the vast complexity of Black histories. My upcoming EP "sweetwater"--with my band Savanna Morgan and the Lovers--is soon to reach all streaming platforms (Fall 2024). My recent publications include debut poetry book, "cow tripe" (Hopscotch Editions, 2022), “Parabolis Virtualis” (Querverlag, 2023), and “Togetherward” (Archive Books, 2023). Blues for Mrs, a musical film written and performed by myself and directed by Dr. Anton Juan, recently had its Berlin premiere at Ballhaus Naunynstrasse in January 2024. My work aims to foster conversations within the Black diaspora centering on its histories, triumphs, joy, and healing.
