JOJO ABOT

Bio

JOJO ABOT is an artist, healer, and alchemist who explores the abilities of new and ancient technologies for universal healing. In her artmaking and ritual, the artist draws from her heritage as an Ewe woman from West Africa and her nomadic lived experiences across Ghana, Copenhagen, the United States, South Africa, Kenya, and elsewhere. JOJO ABOT’s practice is a process of discovery expressed through an established, cohesive aesthetic language applied across music, dance, visual art, fashion design, ceremonial experiences, among many other forms. She has created works in collaboration with MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, the Ghana Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia, Frieze Art Fair x Theaster Gates x Prada, Hult Center, Armory Week NYC, Perez Art Museum Miami, and many others. She has toured with Ms Lauryn Hill and played Afropunk, Roots Picnic, Radio City Music Hall, the Apollo Theater, Kennedy Center, the Greek Theater, and more. Her exhibition “A GOD OF HER OWN MAKING,”is on view through March 3, 2024 at L.A. Louver.
