Njideka Akunyili Crosby (Born 1983; Enugu, Nigeria) uses painting, drawing, printmaking, and collage to reflect the complex  construction of her own identity and those around her. Layering paintings with material  from her ever-growing personal archive of Nigerian magazines, album covers, traditional Igbo patterns, and her own photographs, the artist creates a visual language that celebrates the evolving cultural, social, and individual dynamics of diaspora
