In collaboration with movement artist Coco Villa, Nifemi Ogunro will lead a movement/building workshop. Nifemi shares their project process, then Coco leads the movement portion of the workshop with attention to the forms our bodies create. We end by drawing and building a singular object together. Please know that the workshop is recorded.
About Nifemi Ogunro
Toeing the line between utility and style, Brooklyn based designer Nifemi Ogunro approaches their design process with equal consideration for the bodies that rest on objects and the forms of the objects themselves. Wood being the medium that they primarily approach their art and furniture making practice, Ogunro uses photography, film, performance and movement as sources of inspiration and application for their work. They define their work as functional- sculptures. One of Wallpaper Magazine's 300 people to know, works included in various publications, a piece that lives in the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum to groups of works that can be seen in moments of the television show Everything’s Trash, Ogunro’s practice spans across mediums and is meant to be shared.
Design is an intimate process and Ogunro uses their work as a reminder and a celebration of how much beauty the objects we associate with the mundane hold.
