Jumoke Adeyanju by Benjamin Flüglister

mokeyanju (Jumoke Adeyanju) is a poet, dancer, sound artist, and curator, as well as being the founder and artistic director of Poetry Meets and the editor-in-chief of its anthology Togetherness. She curates interdisciplinary events that blend poetry, music, short films, and dance, a reflection of her own artistic practice. As mokeyanju, she has been a vinyl selector since 2016, channeling a genre-blending sound rooted in polyrhythms, percussion, and a deep love for hip hop and funk at heart. She also hosts on community radio station Refuge Worldwide. Her interdisciplinary work has been shown internationally - from Berlin, Bahia, and Lagos to Ljubljana, Nairobi and Dakar.
