Time Based Performing Artist

Dzidzor (pronounced Jee-Joh) is a Ga-Ewe folklore performing artist driven by curiosity. Her unique approach blends call-and-response with a rich tapestry of sound, fusing poetry, storytelling, and auditory elements to create immersive experiences that ground the audience in their own bodies.

Through her performance art, Dzidzor dismantles the conventional notion of a passive audience, instead inviting them to step forward and become integral participants. Her work is a tapestry woven with threads of curiosity, exploring profound questions about divinity, community, home, Blackness, and identity. She sensitively acknowledges those ensnared by a system that has historically overlooked Black and brown individuals. Leaning into Octavia E. Butler’s question, “What do we need to do now to create the world we want to live in?” Dzidzor explores how bodies can unshackle themselves from internalized oppression through rest and deliberate stillness.

Dzidzor has performed at venues including the ICA Boston, Old North Church, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Marsh Chapel, Harvard University, and the University of Ghana.

Currently, Dzidzor serves as a Community Liaison for the Reckonings Project and is pursuing a master’s in divinity at Boston University. Recognized as a “rhythm architect” by Knoel Scott of the Sun Ra Arkestra, she partners with Crystal Bi on the Department of Public Imagination.
