Nasheeka Nedsreal is a multidisciplinary artist, dancer, choreographer and movement director from Louisiana whose work merges visual and performing arts to explore identity, ritual, and liberation. Rooted in Black cultural traditions and her Southern upbringing, she engages collage, sound, video, movement, and experimental masking as tools for transformation, embodiment, and play—influenced by Black masking traditions, trance states from the Black church, glitch, improvisation, and speculative timelines.
Her screen performances include a principal role in First Days (IFFR 2026 Harbour), alongside self-directed short films like Memories of Reincarnated Imaginings. She is developing visual installations exploring chaos, dreams, and psychedelia through found and upcycled materials.
A 2023 Ikarus Prize recipient, recent Black Rock Senegal resident, co-founder of Soul Sisters Berlin, and featured author in Plural Feminisms, Nedsreal currently tours with dance companies while expanding into film acting and gallery works.
