Nwando Ebizie
Nwando Ebizie is a visionary, multidisciplinary artist, whose work transcends genre and form. She challenges audiences to question their perceived realities through art personas, experimental theatre, neuroscience, music and African diasporic ritualistic dance. Carving out her own strand of Afrofuturism, she combines research into the neuroscience of perception (inspired by her own neurodiversity) and an obsession with science fiction with a ritualistic live art practice.
The artist will spend a month at YSP researching and developing potential artistic outcomes for presentation in 2025. Ebizie’s work includes an immersive sensory environment Distorted Constellations, her pop persona Lady Vendredi (a blaxploitation heroine from another dimension) and the building of her long-term operatic experience, Hildegard: Visions. This award-winning work has toured internationally.

Bruce Beasley: Advocate IV
Inspired by geometric forms, Beasley’s sculptures are often made up of these shapes, and in particular cubes. He uses computer software to design three-dimensional forms without the constraints of gravity. These configurations are then translated into bronze. As with Advocate IV which appears to be balancing, the design method contributes to the precarious appearance of Beasley’s sculptures. - Profile
