The Majors

Sheila Chukwulozie is a multidisciplinary research artist who presents her findings through essays, films, installations, and performances. She believes in preserving human expression and views art as a bridge between the physical and metaphysical. Sheila explores sound by delving into the body's inner and outer oceans to foster a dialogue between these ecosystems.

Her work has been showcased internationally, including in Switzerland, Nigeria, France, Portugal, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, England, Germany, South Africa, the Czech Republic, and the USA. In January 2024, she debuted her film and installation at the Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva, receiving widespread acclaim. As a Thomas J. Watson Fellow (2017-2018), she studied with traditional mask makers and cloth weavers across eight African countries.

Sheila writes on African perspectives related to modern culture, sonic history, anthropology, and digital humanities, with publications in Akademie Journal, CURA Magazine, The Republic Journal, Disegno, and Infrasonica. Her essay in LIFE Magazine was longlisted for the SOPA Journalist Awards 2022. Her installation "Thanks Xenophobia" and film "Egungun" (directed by Olive Nwosu) have garnered attention from major media and film festivals, including the British Film Institute, TIFF, Aspen Film Festival, and Sundance.
