DAN ORACLE : Brixton Village
featuring installations and performances from TRIBE and Angie Aniwura
About the artists
Angie Aniwura is a Canadian-born Nigerian artist based in London whose multidisciplinary practice is deeply rooted in Yoruba indigenous traditions. Her work spanning illustration, textile art, and performance draws on the spiritual philosophies, rituals, and aesthetics of her heritage, which have profoundly influenced her creative and personal journey.
Raised in a family where her father was a devotee of the Yoruba religion, Aniwura developed an intimate understanding of its rites and symbols from an early age. This connection informs her ongoing research into Yoruba religious artifacts, archival photographs, and film footage of traditional ceremonies, forming the foundation of her collaborative and performative works.
During her MA in Textile Art at Chelsea College of Arts, Aniwura experimented with diverse techniques, adapting Japanese paper stencil-cutting for hand-cut vinyl stencils alongside silk-screen printing, embroidery, and sublimation to create work that bridges the tactile and digital.
Her recent project, Ijuba: Homage to the Ones Born and Gone, is a performance-installation exploring lineage, identity, transformation, and reincarnation through a Yoruba spiritual lens. Influenced by her mentor and collaborator Jelili Atiku, Aniwura has performed in Olomoyoyo (Aarhus, 2022) and The Earth is a Beehive (Deptford X Festival, 2022), continuing to expand her exploration of spiritual evolution and ancestral memory.
TRIBE is a Black, trans-led performance duo blending vocals, movement, and live improvisation to create raw, genre-defiant soundscapes. Flowing between soul,blues, rock, R&B and beyond. They channel emotion and spirit into each set, turning performance into ritual. Rooted in community and care, TRIBE’s work honours Black and POC Queer and Trans stories, offering sound as a tool for connection, healing, and resistance. The duo curate music, art, and community spaces rooted in collective power. Centring Black and POC Trans and Queer people, They flow between live music and movement. They refuse to be bound by form and genre, They recognise that art in its living breathing state is fluid and mutable. Every note, every breath, every gesture is a proclamation that: They are here, They are creating and They are free in these moments.
TRIBE will present TRU DA VEIL OF SPECTACLE, a 20-minute durational performance blending vocals, ritual movement, sculpture, and poetry. In a world that extracts cultural capital from Black queer bodies, the piece delves into grief and technological voyeurism—guided by Indigenous Yoruba and Igbo cosmologies. Taking the South West chapter of DAN ORACLE on a journey through visibility and erasure, TRU DA VEIL OF SPECTACLE asks: How do we reimagine worlds beyond the boundaries of ‘human’ and ‘non-human,’ as those who endure social death each day?
Both works will be activated through live performance
The evening will open with a ritual by Ifareduwa Temple, grounding the space in ancestral presence and collective energy.
