Nwando Ebizie
Nwando Ebizie is a visionary artist who works across different artforms and media to explore the possibility of new futures. She challenges audiences to question their perceived realities through art personas, experimental theatre, neuroscience, music and African diasporic ritualistic dance. With research as the foundation of her practice, Ebizie collaborates with artists, academics, filmmakers, musicians and dancers to bring together ideas and produce multilayered creative outputs.
In 2025, Ebizie continues her year-long residency with bi-monthly visits to YSP. She is exploring ideas of archetypal sculptural forms, the use of natural materials and the incorporation of ceramics into her practice. She will also spend time sharing knowledge with Chuu Krydz Ikwuemesi, an academic specialising in the critically endangered Nigerian craft of Uli, a ritualised communal painting practice connected to ideas of land and home.
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.
