ABOUT
Welcome to my world.
My name is Alexandra Obochi [b. 1999], a multidisciplinary creative with skills spanning across many creative disciplines, including photography, creative/art direction, professional makeup artistry, and content creation. I currently live and work in Abuja, Nigeria.
My work is focused on representing and documenting queer living in a society where queerness has been marginalized and stigmatized. I aim to celebrate diversity, resilience, and the power of self-expression while striving to shed light on the beauty, strength, and authenticity of LGBTQ+ individuals in Nigeria.
In 2023, my works were part of the A WA NIBI exhibition by Matthew Blaise and Kampnagel Hamburg. I was also among the 2nd class of grantees for the Black Women Photographers and Nikon USA grant in 2023. My work was showcased in New York Times Square for NFT NYC in 2022 and around New York for the Fewocious x SaveArtSpace public art view, along with many other exhibitions across the metaverse.
I am a part of Black Women Photographers, the African Journalist Database, and the Nigerian Photographers Hub.
