Ngozi Omeje

Ngozi Omeje is a lecturer in Ceramics at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where she received her BA and MFA in 2005 and 2009, respectively. In addition to teaching, Omeje’s vibrant studio practice results in ceramic installations that have earned her national recognition. This project reimagined the sower of the Biblical parable as a woman, likening womanhood to a garden of dreams and hopes that sometimes remains unfulfilled. Omeje culled from personal experience to examine dreams deferred so that women may fulfill the societal obligations that continue to determine the course of their existence. Through her large-scale installations, she articulates her experiences as she creates new worlds or ‘gardens’.
