TAYE & KEHINDE YERI (Slaytwins)

Performing: KEMBILI (Return)
Taye and Kehinde Yeri, known collectively as the Slaytwins, are Nigerian twin dance artists, filmmakers, cultural innovators, curators, and multidisciplinary installation artists rooted in jaw heritage. 
Their practice combines contemporary dance, African movement vocabularies, installation, and film to tell ancestral stories for modern audiences. 
Guided by the concept of ljaw cultural heritage, they explore themes of water, spirit, and community as living archives. Through their work across screen, stage, and public space, they seek to preserve culture, foster intergenerational dialogue, and inspire young people to reconnect with their roots. 
At the heart of their practice is a commitment to keeping tradition alive through contemporary artistic expression.
