Anwulika Anigbo

Anwulika Anigbo (b. Nigeria 1987) is a Chicago-based artist tracing the historical and somatic roots of everyday life as it is practiced within blackness through imagery and processes. Anwulika’s work documents and investigates self-determination, presence, knowledge production, and memory. Working primarily with 35mm film, archival images, textiles, and silk screen, Anwulika’s work pushes towards a reworking of Igbo art and meaning making in an expanded historical and global context. 

Her work has been exhibited at The Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (South Korea), Chicago Artist Coalition (Chicago), EXPO Chicago with FOR FREEDOMS (Chicago) and the NXTHVN (New Haven), Anderson Ranch (Aspen) Photoville (New York). Her billboard with FOR FREEDOMS was recently published in For Freedoms: Where Do We Go From Here?, By Hank Willis Thomas, Eric Gottesman, Michelle Woo, Wyatt Gallery, and taylor brock. She was recently the 2024 March AIR at Latitude, the 22-23 Artist in Residence at Chicago Athletic Association, a 21-22 Artist in Residence at the Chicago Artist Coalition, and a 2022 3Arts Ignite Fund Awardee.
