Rena Anakwe is a Nigerian-Canadian-American interdisciplinary artist, poet, and healer that uses sound, visuals, and scent to explore where and how traditional healing practices, spirituality, and performance can connect and fracture. Her deeper inquiry is how reconnecting to nature can help us to understand and mend these fractures; not only for ourselves but in relation to one another.
She is the creator and founder of SENSORHEUM, a web and mobile-based platform that connects people to online and in-person healing experiences that reimagine the healthcare and wellness industrial complexes through offerings of sound, visuals and scent. In its first phase, it will feature: sound healing for visual and auditory enjoyment, herbal remedies for plant-based support, and mutual aid to expand accessibility to offerings for people at lower income levels.
