Chimira Natanna Obiefule is a Nigerian-Venezuelan artist, researcher and educator whose practice moves across sound, ritual, writing, and performance. Rooted in Igbo cosmologies and Black queer feminist traditions, their work engages grief, memory, and ancestral presence as sites of knowledge and transformation. Through sonic lectures, workshops and embodied gatherings, Chimira explores how voice, improvisation, and collective care can open pathways for healing, refusal, and liberation beyond dominant archival and colonial frameworks. Their work is grounded in community and somatic practices that honour both the material and the unseen.
Previous workshops they have facilitated include Partnering with Change, a writing-based workshop as part of Gathering Earthseed (2024)Â at W139 in Amsterdam, and Honoring Our Journeys: Imagining and Remembering Our Collectivity (2024 – 2025) at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam and later at Wereldhuis, a daytime shelter for undocumented individuals in Amsterdam.
