Born in Nigeria, Edoheart is an award-winning poet, musician, dancer and visual artist. Her work often concerns trauma, iconography, African identity and trance. Her live shows feature video projections, her own songs and ritualistic dance. Edoheart holds two Bachelor’s degrees from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor and Hunter College and is completing a Master’s degree at New York University. She has appeared in newspapers, magazines, television and radio in South Korea, Japan, North America, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia and Nigeria. Called “powerful ritual” and “voodoo theatre”, she has taught the Arts to children since 2001 and facilitated adult workshops at institutions like Columbia University, Spelman College and The Living Theatre. Edoheart has published two books of poems, released three musical collections, four music singles and numerous video-artworks to date, most notably, her Fire Butoh series. Edoheart is the multicultural, multilingual Africa I carry with me in my travels; a place I share with my collaborators and audiences. The language of Edoheart is transcultural, metaphysical and multimedia. Edoheart hopes to rewrite the history of Africa through rediscovery, retrieval and re-incorporation of lost African creations and identities.
