We are pleased to announce the 2023 recipient of our Emerging Curatorial Residency, Ogheneofegor (Fegor) Obuwoma!
Ogheneofegor Obuwoma (She/They) is a Nigerian storyteller and writer with a BFA in film and communications from Simon Fraser University. The possibilities of bodies as personal archives and their relationship to the world is an important part of her practice. Ogheneofegor’s work emerges from an investigation of the dynamic, nuanced and ever changing state of contemporary Nigerian society, people, and culture. Her artistic practice is influenced by African futurism and a visual language born of cultural and lived experiences. They are constantly exploring the the interrelations between cultural production and rituals and ground their practice in traditions of care and reimagination.
Special thanks to the BC Arts Council.
