Wura-Natasha Ogunji’s various works for Forming in the pupil of an eye have a rich complexity of visual references. At once they are domestic and worldly, fabular and factual, historical and futuristic. Through the use of sewing, Ogunji presents the homely, craft skills of a feminine domain into a public that is Afropolitan, at once rooted in a local aesthetic that one may misascribe to ‘Nigeria’ yet which has a resonance with contemporary feminist practitioners the world over.
