Dzidzor Azaglo

Dzidzor (pronounced Jee-Joh) is a Ghanaian-American (Ga-Ewe) mystic folklorist/performing artist/wonderer. Drawing inspiration from Octavia E. Butler’s powerful question "What do we need to do now to create the world we want to live in?," Dzidzor engages the body as a site of possibility, where healing can take root, and liberation can be practiced in real time. Her artistic reach spans renowned institutions and sacred spaces. She has performed at the ICA Boston, Old North Church, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Marsh Chapel, Harvard University, the University of Ghana, and more. In each setting, she transforms space into soundscapes of exploration, allowing stories and melodies to serve as tools of remembering, imagining, and resting.

In addition to her performance work, Dzidzor is engaged in collective, imaginative world-building. She collaborates with crystal bi through the Department of Public Imagination, an initiative based in Boston, Massachusetts, that reimagines public life through storytelling, art, and civic engagement. She also serves as a community liaison for the Reckonings Project based at Northeastern University, an endeavor dedicated to memory, community archives, and communal preservation. Her commitment to sound as a medium of exploration and transformation is further deepened by her studies. Dzidzor is pursuing a Master of Divinity at Boston University, bridging her theological inquiries with her artistic and communal practices. Her work refuses the boundaries of discipline—melding academia, performance, and spiritual inquiry into one expansive, breathing practice.
