KOSISOCHUKWU NNEBE
Kosisochukwu Nnebe (b. 1993), better known as Kosi, is a first generation Nigerian-Canadian visual artist. Born in Nigeria, she moved to Canada at the age of 5 and grew up in Gatineau, QC where her multicultural upbringing manifested itself in part in the adoption of franglais and a long-lasting love for Nollywood movies. She is currently based in Montreal, where she is ardently pursuing a double major in Economics and International Development Studies, while daydreaming about studios in Brooklyn and partying with Solange. In July 2013, Kosi launched Coloured Conversations, a multimedia project combining visual arts practice with critical social theory. Inspired by the work of countless black feminist intellectuals and artists, ranging from bell hooks to Lorraine O'Grady, the project's vision is to inspire others to challenge, reinterpret and redefine notions of race, gender and class within society.
