Yadichima

Yadichinma Ukoha-Kalu is an experimental artist and illustrator based in Lagos, Nigeria. Her practice centres around the exploration of objects, space, and boundaries, expressed through a diverse range of media, including drawing, sculpture, fabric and technology.Yadichnma consistently crafts multi-dimensional environments that blend surreal and abstract elements. Her fascination with the material world propels her to uncover connections and invent interactions between seemingly separate objects. She holds the belief that each object possesses its own unique world and system. This perspective is particularly pronounced in the realm of artefacts, where archival systems are generated through craft practices rooted in cultural history, specifically within the African context. Her work also aims to bridge the gap between traditional methodologies and contemporary practices. By interwining these elements, she seeks to explore the rich taoestry of cultural heritage and foster a dialogue about world-building.
