A Conversation with Artist Mimi Onuoha

Moderator: Mindy Seu (Assistant Professor, Art & Design)

Registration

Mimi Onuoha, Visiting Arts Professor at NYU

Mimi Onuoha is a Nigerian-American artist creating work about a world made to fit the form of data. By foregrounding absence and removal, her multimedia practice uses print, code, installation and video to make sense of the power dynamics that result in disenfranchised communities’ different relationships to systems that are digital, cultural, historical, and ecological. Onuoha has spoken and exhibited internationally and has been in in residence at Studio XX (Canada), Data & Society Research Institute (USA), the Royal College of Art (UK), Eyebeam Center for Arts & Technology (USA), and Arthouse Foundation (Nigeria, upcoming). She lives and works in Brooklyn.

This event, and with it our inaugural series, will culminate with a series of breakouts in anticipation of a white paper.
