Wura-Natasha Ogunji
-
Wura-Natasha Ogunji is a visual artist and performer. Her works include drawings, videos and public performances and her practice is deeply inspired by the daily interactions and frequencies that occur in the city of Lagos, Nigeria, from the epic to the intimate. Ogunji's performances explore the presence of women in public space; these often include investigations of labor, leisure, freedom and frivolity. By exploring the physicality of body, gestures and our relationship to geographical, architectural and filmic space, as well as memory, history and impossible moments in time, Wura-Natasha Ogunji's work harmonizes experiences of living between Austin, USA and Lagos over several years and uniquely extends the interface of drawing, video and performance art.
