The interdisciplinary artist and co-author of the collective novel ‘Isles’ is currently a student at the UoR, where he is taking a program in the M.A.P faculty. Fondly called #astralpoet by his friends, Eric has been opportune to serve in the capacity of communications consultant for the United Nations arm stationed in Nigeria, between the years of 2021 and 2022. He is also an alumni of the EbonyLife Creative Academy in Nigeria, where his short film script; 'Shikari,' won the award of best screenplay for his intake. His spoken word poem, 'Omije’, which claimed the award for Best Soundtrack at the 2017 edition of the 'InShort Film Festival', Nigeria; having been featured in the short film ‘Ajeji,’ is a crowd's favorite that touches on religion, identity, and socio-political revolution. A passionate student of the human experience, Eric is a believer in the psycho-social healing properties of art, and is constantly seeking new ways to aid in that healing process which our planet desperately needs, now more than ever. It is Eric’s earnest hope that this year’s RCT project will not only be a stunning performance, but also an addition to the canon of creative works which seek to unite all peoples through an understanding of the commonality of being human.
