kelechi agwuncha

kelechi agwuncha (b.1997) is a video artist, VJ, and experimental-documentary filmmaker based in Chicago & of Igbo heritage. Their current work reorients black athletes as characters — specifically as characters who disrupt the ontology of sporting gestures, garments, spaces and the ways in which athletes are traditionally filmed. These expressions reflect kelechi's physicality as a former athlete. By engaging in acts of 'looking', they interrogate how black bodies commune with the natural world & how a body's pace and rhythm in life disrupts time / the quotidian.
