Jumoke Adeyanju aka mokeyanju is a passionate dancer, writer, vinyl selector and DJ as well as a multifaceted artist and curator with a deep-rooted affection for sounds and tonalities, specifically in language and percussive instruments. Heavily influenced by Detroit’s hip-hop and house music legacy, fuji, highlife, ndombolo and percussive music and broadly interested in East African and Caribbean culture, mokeyanju has recently been hoping to explore spiritual carriers or mediums, opening up understanding and portals to new sonic transmissions outside of the ordinary realms. What she aims to dissolve through an entanglement of audio and visuals is the spiritual gap enacted by forced displacement.
mokeyanju is receiving one of the project scholarships in the amount of 2,000 euros that in 2020 were awarded among the applicants for residencies abroad.
