An African Innovative Healing Production Company
Kiing Curry and Siir Cole are an African innovative healing production company creating embodied, restorative, and liberatory experiences through the arts, African Indigenous learning, and sovereign spirituality.
They are teaching artists, cultural workers, and healers whose work centers embodiment, care, and communal accountability—restoring the Black body and, by extension, all bodies.

Kiing Curry and Siir Cole bring together deep academic training, lived experience, and ancestral wisdom to re-imagine what healing, education, and production can look like beyond colonial, capitalist, and patriarchal frameworks.
-
Siir Cole holds a BA in Music from Belmont University and a Master of Divinity (M.Div) from Vanderbilt University, grounding their work in sound, spirit, theology, and ritual.
-
Kiing Curry holds a BS in Theatre from Middle Tennessee State University, an MFA in Theatre Stage Management from the University of California, Irvine, and is also a licensed cosmetologist, bringing together performance, logistics, care work, and embodied transformation.
Together, they operate at the intersection of healing arts, performance production, African Indigenous restorative justice, and Black queer embodiment.
Our work is rooted in intention, care, and African Indigenous restorative justice. We understand restoration as the return of sovereignty to the Black body—physically, spiritually, erotically, and communally.
From this grounding, we create courseworks, performances, rituals, and productions that center Indigenous wisdom through the lived sovereignty of the Black body.
To be Black is to be eternally queer—expansive, fluid, and resistant to containment.
While our work does not serve Black bodies exclusively, it is intentionally taught from a lens that centers those most marginalized, placing Black bodies first in order to create pathways of liberation for all.
By decentering binary thinking and patriarchal imagination, we open trans ways of learning—not a simple reversal of power, but an entirely different way of being on the other side of, outside of what has always been.
We reject the hypersexualization of the queer Black body. Instead, we engage the erotic as a tool of communal creation, care, and intention—a source of life force rather than extraction.
Our work is informed by Black queer, African, and diasporic scholarship and artistry, including but not limited to:
-
Malidoma & Sobonfu Somé (The Healing Wisdom of Africa, The Spirit of Intimacy)
-
Hugo K. Canham (Riotous Deathscapes)
-
Joy DeGrury (Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome)
-
Black queer fictive and non-fictive texts, performance, ritual, and oral traditions
We design and facilitate experiences across scale and setting, including:
-
Intimate, community-based courseworks in salons, healing spaces, and classrooms
-
Embodied learning labs and ritual gatherings
-
Large-scale festivals, performances, and productions
-
Community-centered events that rethink engagement outside of capitalist gain
Our productions are not commodities—they are sites of repair, imagination, and communal power.
We do not believe in “safe spaces.”
We believe in accountable spaces—spaces grounded in transparency, responsibility, and care.
We are not attempting perfection. We are attempting something outside the logic of the all-knowing, all-seeing state. This means mistakes will happen. Messes will be made. And healing will come from sitting fully inside error—freeing ourselves and our ancestors from shame.
We center the non-verbal because words are too easily manipulated. When the body leads, new forms of platonic intimacy, trust, and community emerge—rooted in diverse minds, shared breath, and collective presence.
