About Bonita Oliver: Bonita Oliver utilizes multiple mediums as a performance artist and improviser. Her work is about transitions- the process of moving through.
Bonita creates deeply emotional, body in space, concept art through voice, music, environmental soundscapes and movement. The motivation is to heal personal and ancestral trauma in order to make way for discovery and connection. The mission is to engage community through ritual, co creation, education and activism. Her process is in the moment and responds to stimuli – be it internal or external -through embodiment and interaction. Her live works exhibit this process in real time.
Bonita (who also performs under the name of French Leave) is originally from Springfield, Massachusetts. She was a mentee of cultural influencer and historian, Lujuana Hood and is now a member of the board for PAHMUSA, the museum Ms Hood founded.

Currently Bonita is an artist in residence at Loisaida, Inc. located on the lower east side, NYC…
