Nelly Uchendu - Love Nwantinti (1977) Referred to as the “Golden Voice of Nigeria,” Nelly Uchendu was one of the few female singers in the Igbo high life genre.

Nelly burst upon the scene in 1977 with “Love Nwantinti,” a song based on the folklore of her native Enugu, and quickly followed that up with a number of hits like “Aka Bu Eze” and “Mamausa.”

The Chimurenga  chronic, août 2016.

Pour "écrire notre monde différemment", pour échapper aux diktats de la croissance, du développement et des projections des Institutions internationales telles que le FMI ou la Banque Mondiale, le dernier numéro du bulletin de Chimurenga, Chimurenga chronic convoque la science-fiction et l’illustration. 

Comme d’habitude très prolixe, Chimurenga qui avait édité en 2008, Doctor Santan Echo Chamber, revient sur le potentiel de la SF, pour rendre compte du présent du continent africain et se projeter dans des futurs alternatifs.

This was a project for my final assignment, for my “Fashion, Illustration, & Performance” class at Parsons.. which could potentially become the start of my thesis for this year. The design process of these garments all started with two collages that I created with patterns that I made, then I decided to bring them to life by creating them into garments and wearing them myself.
