ABOUT

About iTi: Ritual Studies by Yonela Makoba:

iti ritual studies?is a multi-sensory exploration of the ritual called?iti, meaning "tea." A ceremony to honor and give thanks to matriarchs and womb-bearing beings,?iti?is a practice I know only in fragments. Over the last two years, I have experimented with variations of this ritual. This final iteration invites the audience to journey into a sacred installation space, engaging with themes of memory, loss, the erotic and the reconstruction of ancestral knowledge. Through this immersive experience,?iti ritual studies?creates a space for reflection, reverence, and reconnection with the essence of?iti?and the beings it seeks to honor.
