all vibes, no gender. Tkaronto based, Akan roots

Abi Cudjoe is a emerging, community-taught costume designer, sewist and movement storyteller based in Toronto, Canada. Their artistic practice honours our conversations with kin of all realms and time, through code that extends our common spoken languages.

Their sewing projects (costumes and commissioned pieces) are inspired by the need to give new life to well loved textiles, making life more accessible through practicality, connecting to ancestors, and finding body/gender euphoria. They have collaborated with projects presented at the 2025 Summerworks Festival (XILOPANGO by Irma Villafuerte) and upcoming WhyNot Theatre's 2026 Next Gen Fellowship (MATRIATE by Tara Beagan).

Their intention is to balance expression through our understanding of generational trauma, with generational knowledge and play. Abi is deeply motivated and are driven by their ever evolving decolonial praxis, exploring the "why" and "how" of our systems, in order to answer the question of "what is next?".
