O.I.
Ori Inu
ori-inu ("inner head") - a personal spirit that guides an individual's destiny. Ori meaning “head,” that is, the physical human head, refers to one's spiritual intuition and destiny.
OI is a culmination of my recent practice and research into Pan-Africanism and healing. With roots in West African spirituality (specifically those native to Yorubaland) and contemporary cross-continental Black culture, these 360 videos seek to create a virtual safe space.
