Multi-disciplinary artist, ayo ohs, debuts her first album, A Minor Relief, with a site-specific
night of music, dance, and theater.

Through this site-specific journey, ayo guides the audience through life experiences in identity and freedom in a rapidly-changing world. Personal and relatable, ayo’s lyrics explore silence and agency, in an effort to find voice. Both playful and contemplative, ayo asks us to reflect and reject where we are today, to find a little relief.
