   Flow of Effra
   is a series of site specific performances
   and installation in London
   Silk Worm, The Brick Box Tooting
   Ori Festival, The Brick Box Brixton
   2012
  
 The work explores the underground river of
 Brixton, the Effra, which is re-imagined
 through sound and movement, materialized
 by blue plastic bags found at Brixton
 Market. The abandoned material that is
 ubiquitous in Brixton, was turned into an
 artificial element of nature.
 At the end of Ori festival exploring West African
 spirituality, the river was paraded
 through Brixton, honoring the river goddess Oshun,
 according to Yoruba tradition.

 Maps of river Effra that runs underground on
 the site of parade were handed to audience.
