Freda OSAYUKI Igiogbe

I am a multidisciplinary artist whose work is rooted in storytelling. Through film, ceramics, and drawing, I explore the intersections of identity, spirituality, and cultural memory. My practice reflects the complexities of my upbringing, blending elements of African heritage and spirituality with Christian symbolism to explore the tension—and beauty—between these worlds.

Currently, I work primarily with clay, creating symbolic, expressive sculptures that merge human and mythical forms. Clay’s deep connection to the earth and ancestral knowledge allows me to preserve and transform personal and cultural narratives. Through my work, I aim to challenge dominant perceptions, reclaim sacred traditions, and explore the layered stories we carry within ourselves.
