“...prolific Nigerian-American poet, curator, choreographer and performance artist’s new show explores the erotic fear associated with the black male body.”

Mapping the Afterlives of Performance
A practical framework for archiving experimental performance, Mapping the Afterlives equips your team with strategic tools, workflows, and prompts that preserve process, context, and community memory.
What We Do
DESIGN & CURATORIAL PROJECTS
Live works, film installations, and publications exploring memory, futurity, and collective healing
COLLECTIVE RESTSHOPS & RETREATS
Transformative, research-driven experiences that restore capacity and reframe artmaking as public action. Jaamil centers three key elements in educational offerings: harm reduction, dramaturgies of care, and critical rest practice.
MAPPING THE AFTERLIVES: ARCHIVING & DIGITAL PRESERVATION SUPPORT
Mapping the Afterlives is both a digital toolkit and a philosophy of care designed to help artists and cultural workers reclaim their narratives through intentional acts of preservation. These self guided sessions emerges from a recognition that many of our creative lineages have been fragmented, lost, or rendered illegible by institutional neglect. Yet within those absences lies a radical opportunity to rebuild, to remember otherwise, and to map the unseen continuities that shape our collective imagination.
CREATIVE COACHING & ACADEMIC ADVISING
virtual and in-person strategic sessions to support artists, students, and entrepreneurs shape and fulfill their vision. It’s a safe container where we can radically share and experience deep paradigm shifts and mindset techniques to thrive within our creative work and lives.
BLACK BODY AMNESIA
Blending poetry and memoir, conversation and performance theory, Black Body Amnesia: Poems and Other Speech Acts enlivens a personal archive of visual and verbal offerings written and organized by jaamil olawale kosoko.
