Nasheeka Nedsreal is a multidisciplinary artist, choreographer, and performer 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 and early exposure to trance states in the Black church, her work embraces glitch, improvisation, and speculative timelines—reimagining pasts, presents, and futures. She explores the body as both archive and oracle, often working across collective and solo practices.
A recent resident of Black Rock Senegal and co-founder of the former Soul Sisters Berlin, Nedsreal is a 2023 Ikarus Prize recipient and featured co-author of Plural Feminisms. She currently tours with various companies and choreographers, while continuing to develop her own interdisciplinary projects.
