Kosisochukwu Nnebe, an artist, writer and an awardee of G.A.S. Foundation's annual fellowship, joins us for a seven-week residency at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ijebu. Her multifaceted practice spans sculpture, installation, photography, film, performance, sound, textiles, and multidisciplinary research. Kosisochukwu's work critically examines how culinary practices and food can function as counter-archives – what Brett Kashmere’s defines as “incomplete and unstable repositories” – that can challenge official narratives and open us up to subaltern perspectives. A central focus of her current research is cassava, particularly its historical use as poison with which to resist colonial oppression in the Caribbean.
