Inspired by Emmanuel Edson’s theater piece, this book showcases Ayzoh!’s involvement in performance art as resistance. It questions societal pressures to categorize identity, emphasizing theater’s profound ability to challenge perceptions and affirm human dignity.
"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.
At Ayzoh!, photography is more than a medium: it’s a bridge that connects, reveals, and elevates. While many use images to compete for prizes or acclaim, we reject the idea that human conditions should be ranked or judged.
A reimagining beyond “newspeak”: in a world where language is often diluted and manipulated, we choose to reclaim the meaning of key words that guide our work at Ayzoh!.
