The work of Obeah is healing inter-generational traumas, empowering communities and sharing resources to create tools of safety towards self-awareness & transformation in mental health. Their visual works analyse power processes and fictions of science in historical archives that critically engage with migration and colonial memory. In and through performance. Anguezomo has developed formats for ritual through ancestral healing that often expose the interwoven colonial histories of migration in site-specific spaces to dismantle prejudice and create independent emancipatory tools for liberation, education, and reparation. Their works were shown in numerous world Biennales and exhibitions including the Dak’Art Biennale.
