In Conversation: Dr. Imo Nse Imeh
April 10, 2022 Dr. Imo Nse Imeh is a Nigerian-American visual artist and scholar of African diaspora art. Dr. Imeh utilizes his practice of visual art and research in art history to examine historical and philosophical issues surrounding the black body and cultural identity. He has contributed to visual arts conversations with publications, lectures, and provoking art studio projects that interrogate the ways in which black bodies are imagined, installed, ritualized, and transformed. His current studio project, Benediction, tells the story of a group of angels that have been cast down to earth and bound to the skins of black boys and men. Dr. Imeh's "Feeding the Veins of the Earth", part of the Benediction series, is currently on display at NCHGS’s Sigal Museum as part of the exhibit Another American’s Autobiography: Selections from the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art.
