About
My name is Ojemba Ohohoo. I was born in Germany in 1989 with roots in Nigeria and Ghana. I live between Portugal, Germany, Estonia, and Ghana. My life is a crossing — a place where roads meet, cultures talk, and stories choose their next path.
"Ojemba" in Igbo means the traveler — the one who goes, sees, and returns with new eyes. "Ohohoo" in Twi means the stranger/guest — the one who arrives with new stories, and listens before speaking. Together they hold my name, my tension, and my truth.
I create to heal. I build to share. My work sits where off-grid living, music, dance, and digital learning feed one another. I co-founded Sankofa Living & Learning, a nonprofit that believes we must go back and fetch what matters — memory, dignity, knowledge — to move forward.
I've slept in vans, learned from elders, planted gardens in dry soil, and taught with broken Wi-Fi under open skies. My art is the record of those attempts to live simply and honestly — and my hope that you might see your own journey in mine.
I am a father of a daughter and two sons. I currently have no contact with my children — not because I wanted it that way. This side of my story is painful and at the same time one that many know. I speak about it openly, about my mistakes, my responsibility and my hope. I believe that we will see each other again. I believe that it can be good.
