WanaWana 's video: Culture Diaries Meets Visual Performance artist Wura Natasha Ogunji

Wura-Natasha Ogunji is a visual artist and performer. Her works include drawings, videos and public performances. Her hand-stitched drawings, made on architectural trace paper, are inspired by the daily interactions and frequencies that occur in the city of Lagos, from the epic to the intimate. Ogunji's performances explore the presence of women in public space; these often include investigations of labour, leisure, freedom and frivolity. A selection of her large-scale drawings was most recently exhibited at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. She has also exhibied at 1:54, London; Seattle Art Museum; Brooklyn Art Museum; and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek. Ogunji is a recipient of the prestigious Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and has received grants from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation; The Dallas Museum of Art; and the Idea Fund.
