Albert Ibokwe Khoza is a natural performance artist from South Africa.

Through gender fluidity and ancestral practice, he expresses his thoughts moving between different artistic mediums to outline social ills and what his divergent nature see and interprets about the world in which he lives in, critically questioning his surroundings, his leaders and life itself.
