Bohyni

Sasha Theodora is a queer Ukrainian-Canadian interdisciplinary artist, splitting their time between T’karonto and Bulbancha (New Orleans). They have travelled the world working as an actor, singer/​musician, director, producer and ritual mask maker. They are a founding member of Folk Camp Canada, Queen Cake and Ghosts Within. At the start of the full scale invasion of Ukraine, they started making protest videos, of which ​“Bohyni” is the third.
They use ritual and folklore as inspiration for their artistic practice to counter oppressive hegemonic colonial culture.
