As a Nigerian American designer, Nifemi Ogunro bridges the gap between design, social issues, and sustainability.  Nifemi use’s photography and performance as a way to articulate this work.

PROJECT : MELD

Much of my practice revolves around feeling and questioning. Why does a chair have to look like a chair? Why do objects for children have to signal that they’re for children? Why do tools for healing have to expose an injury rather than add beauty to it? For the Fellowship for Utopian Practice I aim to reimagine what a playground can look like, what it means to create a public space for both play and rest, and explore if that space can also feel like its own work of art.
