Chelsea Odufu

Chelsea Odufu is a Guyanese Nigerian American award-winning filmmaker and visual artist working across narrative, experimental film, video art, installation, and photography.
Her work is deeply concerned with how traditional aspects of Black culture are preserved in the face of urbanization and globalization.
She frequently uses afro-futuristic imagery juxtaposed with archival footage to collapse the sense of time in her pieces.

The artist has won awards for two films, Ori Inu: In Search of Self (2016) and Black Lady Goddess (2020). The second one was also featured at New Afro’s exhibition "Restitution… und dann?".
