This is where Ayzoh!’s work unfolds in real time: from remote expeditions to exhibitions, field stories to visual experiments, partnerships to quiet reflections. No agenda. No polish. Just a living archive of how — and why — we do what we do. Whether you’re a supporter, a future workshop participant, a collector, or someone stumbling in with curiosity, welcome. This space is open, raw, and always grounded. And like all good fieldwork — it’s in progress.

The Energy of Women

Filmed between Bahia and Rome, this poetic documentary honors Angela Altieri McDonald (1963–2010)—a visionary writer and the soul behind Ayzoh!’s creation. Her bold spirit and support sparked the dream that became Ayzoh! in 2008. This tribute celebrates her enduring energy, and the women who continue to inspire across continents.

Tissia: Weaving Freedom

Founded by Alice and Veronique Ouedraogo, Tissia empowers disadvantaged women in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, through microcredit, literacy, and social programs. Supported by Ayzoh!, Tissia expanded in 2019 with a thriving textile workshop, weaving freedom and opportunity for local women.

Waga Studio Project

"Waga Studio" documents Ayzoh!’s successful photography and art initiative in Gounghin, Ouagadougou. Demonstrating how creative expression fosters innovation and social change in marginalized communities, this publication highlights the transformative potential of art in social development.

We Are Nebua

"We Are Nebua" captures the essence of Afrobloomy (formerly Nebua World), a dynamic community founded by Aida Aicha Bodian in Paris. Ayzoh!’s publication amplifies diverse voices, promoting entrepreneurial, social, and cultural opportunities for Afro-descendant women and their allies.
