About

A cosmic living archive in motion.

Weaving harmonies, movement, paper, fabric, and gentle systems from "nothing" into "something."

I Am

Zee Ni Onya

Formerly Zeenie Summers Sarumi

A multidimensional artist, cultural preservationist, and storyteller working at the intersection of Development, Education, Heritage, and Mutually-Inclusive Community Systems.

The work spans voice, reading, stillness, ceremony, and shared expression, held inside schools, organisations, communal spaces, and sovereign containers she designs and leads.

Development

Building creative frameworks and programmes that grow people, communities, and institutions from the inside out.

Education

Arts-led facilitation in schools and learning environments, restoring voice, listening, and presence to the everyday.

Heritage

Cultural preservation through ancestral storytelling, Griot ceremony, and living oral tradition.

Community Systems

Mutually-inclusive spaces where shared expression becomes the architecture of belonging.

The living archive

We are an art gallery publishing house of experiences, not a production factory.

Living Practice

I AM Daily Flowing.

The Way I Move

  • I design rituals, not repetitions.
  • I start when inspired.
  • I continue when aligned.
  • I complete when the vibration is full+filled.

Daily Pledge

  • I create because I love the feeling of creating.
  • I choose projects that reflect the joy I'm feeling.
  • My discernment is my devotion.
  • My environment is my safe haven of becoming.
  • The joy of my Be+ing is my purpose full+filled.
  • Àṣẹ.
Libation to Òrí

Guide me gently, soften my edges.

Protect my body, my mind, and my spirit.

Let what flows be integration, not overwhelm.

Let what rises be Truth, not Fantasy.

Let my ego rest, but not dissolve into illusion.

I walk this journey anchored in myself, not seeking escape, but expansion.

Eṣé. Àṣẹ.
The Method

A creative channel translating ideas into living things.

The principles that guide how the work moves, from first inspiration through to artefact, experience, music, story, and living system.

01

Begin with inspiration

Nothing starts from obligation. Every offering originates in a genuine creative impulse, a felt sense of what wants to exist.

02

Continue with alignment

The work deepens when it remains in resonance with the original intention. Misalignment is a signal to pause, not to push.

03

Complete when full

Completion is not a deadline. It is the moment the vibration of a piece or a programme has reached its natural fullness.

04

Discernment as devotion

Choosing what to take on is an act of care — for the work, for the people receiving it, and for the creative channel itself.

05

Environment as sanctuary

The space in which the work is made and held matters. Every container, physical or energetic, is designed with intention.

06

Joy as the compass

Projects are chosen because they reflect the joy alive in this moment, not from a place of scarcity, urgency, or proving.

It takes a village to make magic.

The work does not happen alone. It is held, witnessed, and amplified by collaborators, communities, and the ancestral current that runs through all of it.
