Artist Bio
kelechi agwuncha (b.Chicago, IL) is an Igbo-American video artist, filmmaker, and sound artist who uses a surrealist approach to create a set of interventions and reconstructions upon sports & bodily movement that become rehearsals of play. Using techniques of expanded cinema they construct black imagery alongside live rhythms of theatrical and musical performances ; this is otherwise known as VJing or video jockeying. As a former athlete she creates works often concerned with observations and ecstatic interventions upon gestures, spaces, and local histories of Black athletes, musicians, and African diaspora. Their work has been exhibited in spaces including OpenTV, Black International Cinema Berlin, MoMA PS1, Pitchfork Music Festival, Bulk Space Detroit and Chicago Architectural Biennial. They recently received an MFA in Visual Arts at University of California,
