Numero Unoma is a multidisciplinary artist and curator, best known for witty, sensitive and incisive work, that dissects her life experiences as a biracial Nigerian, through the technological, socio-political and personal eras of her lifetime, and of course, between the continents and races of her origins. She also straddles the chasm between many years of top level executive corporate life, and the existential toils of the creative. Proudly Nigerian, she is preoccupied with both the minutiae and the grand scale of human rights and wrongs, as well as philosophical musings of practical value. Her visual work is both semantic and semiotic, her literary work is idiosyncratic.
