Njoki Gatama

I'm Njoki, though many know me as Kijo Gatama. I'm an emerging multidisciplinary performance-maker, delving into playwriting, movement, acting, artistic producing, and directing. My artistic journey is driven by a passion for exploring afro-queer identity and the intricate interplay of gender, race, ethnicity, and the diverse lived experiences of people from equity-seeking groups. I am the co-artistic Director of Here, for: Fear Collectives, a hybrid film/theatre company dedicated to pushing boundaries and challenging norms. I am a formally trained actress with a background in arts administration, coupled with extensive experience in the field. Additionally, I am driven by a passion for filmmaking and aspire to transition my creative endeavors from the stage to the broader realm of cinema.
