ABOUT
It is known across the African diaspora and within African traditional religions of different spirits that play at the crossroads. It is believed that these spirits dabble in between the spiritual world and physical, opening and closing roads for everyone and anyone that wishes to pass through. This show is an ode to these trippy relationships and experiences I have with these spirits at these “Crossroads.” From making deals, negotiating with these tricksters, and trusting my path, these pieces are offerings to the wild, crazy, and twisted adventures I continue to explore and embrace as I work my way back home to self.
