Ngozi Schommers
1974 - Present
Ngozi Schommers is a Nigerian multi-media artist born in Enugu in 1974. She now splits her time between Germany and Ghana. Her work focuses on a wide range of subjects including identity, equality, memory, culture, ecological destruction, migration and colonialism. Schommers uses the body and experiences of the female gender, archival materials and memories of her childhood in tackling these subjects. As an artist living between West Africa and Europe, she incorporates experiences of both locations in her work and further expands this discourse using plants, floral patterns and butterflies.
