Teajai Travis
The City of Windsor’s Multicultural Community Storyteller is a multi-hyphenated experimentalist that mediums with sound, space, and a specific method of meditation. As a hereditary storyteller and intuitive percussionist, Teajai is manifesting a practice of installation that engages the empty spaces found in sacred geometry, the poetry of mathematical patterns, and the metaphysics of cellular memory. He is exploring pathways of trauma rehabilitation, ancestral resurrection, multidimensional cognition, and meditative time travel by employing the intuitive rituals of his ancestor cells and conjuring the energetic intersections of public space and imagination.
