Artist Statement.

Currently sojourning in Somerset, UK Theodora Songhai is a UK-based artist whose work primarily involves mixed-media collage and photography.

Through her art, Songhai explores the multiplicity of experiences and identities situated within a larger societal contextual framework. She skillfully merges elements of her own cultural heritage with contemporary issues at the intersection of race, body, migration, ritual and theological anthropology.

Songhai's work is deeply rooted in the concepts of ritual, migration, and Black woman and personhood, reflecting upon the ways individuals navigate and negotiate their sense of self in an ever-shifting world. Her collages and photographs serve as a powerful commentary on the complexities of the human experience, capturing the fluid nature of identity and the ways it evolves and adapts over time. Through her art, Songhai invites the audience to contemplate and reflect upon their place in the world and how they articulate it.
