ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chiizii is an interdisciplinary artist, designer and researcher, who was born in London and raised in New York and Igbo. Working heavily with but not limited to painting, collage and textile design, her work is centred around the specificities of Igbo, Nigerian and African experiences and histories.
Her current research ‘Nni Bu Ogwu (Food is Medicine)’, a pilot Digital Research Residency at the Yinka Shonibare Foundation, aims to establish the significance of art in the communication and maintenance of Igbo food culture, as well as the use of making art as a learning method and presenting art as a teaching method.
Recent shows include 1-54 London, Somerset House, London (2022), RA Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy, London (2021) and Collective Processes Gucci Circolo, London (2021).
