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
Inspired by the river goddess Oshun
according to Yoruba tradition.
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.
In the end of Ori festival exploring West
African spirituality, the river was paraded
through Brixton. Maps of river Effra that
runs underground on the site of parade were
handed to audience.
