Nigerian artist and curator (born 1987)
Bubu Ogisi (1987 in Lagos, Nigeria) is a Nigerian fibre artist, multidisciplinary artist, fashion designer, and curator whose work explores identity, materiality, spirituality, and indigenous textile production in West African societies.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]
Bubu Ogisi grew up in multiple cities globally, including London, Lagos, Accra, and Paris. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Regent University, Accra, Ghana, and a Master of Arts in Fashion Business from Ecole Superieure des Art et Technique de la Mode (ESMOD) in Paris, France.
Ogisi’s work aims to decolonize the mind and question inherited socio-political narratives, particularly those related to post and neo-colonialism[2]. She creates wearable art and installation pieces using organic and unconventional fibres, integrating ancient textile traditions from the African continent.[3] Her art manipulates elements such as gravity, light, color, mass, and transparency to express the infinite transformations and materiality iterations of the body and textiles. This approach foregrounds themes of rawness, anti-finishing (as a critique of Eurocentrism), and functionality
Her oeuvre examines identity, memory, and transcendence, weaving indigenous knowledge systems together with contemporary aesthetics to reflect the complex histories of the African diaspora.[4][5] Ogisi also uses her platform to question subjects like religion, gender, traditional symbolism, tribal identities, magic, and ecological futures.[6]
Professional roles and collaborations
[edit]
Ogisi is the creative director of IAMISIGO, a contemporary womenswear brand that embodies her artistic and cultural concerns.[7] She is also a member of the art collective hFACTOR. Her work has been exhibited in several contemporary art venues, including a collaboration with Tamibé Bourdanné shown at the FNB Art Joburg Fair in 2024.
