Alexis Tsegba

Alexis Chivir-ter Tsegba is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist working across video, textile, sculpture, sound and digital collage. Guided by a philosophy of collage as a way of thinking, making and remembering, her practice explores African diasporic identity, cultural memory and material and digital forms of storytelling. Born and raised in Nigeria, and currently based between Abuja and Vancouver, Tsegba engages language, intimacy, spirituality and Afrofuturism to address suppressed histories and speculative futures.

Drawing on counter-archival strategies, queer African worldmaking and decolonial theory, her work confronts colonial legacies while amplifying queer testimonies and imagining new forms of community and belonging. Through exhibitions and collaborations, she seeks to cultivate spaces of listening, witnessing and re-imagining that honour resilience, spirituality and joy alongside struggle.
