"Wura-Natasha Ogunji is an artist concerned with much more than brushstrokes and proper studio lighting.
Based in Lagos, Nigeria and Austin, Ogunji studies body movement and public performance art as a means to provide social awareness. From video art installations and public performances, Ogunji’s works are a commentary on social order — often bringing into question the idea of justice. [...]
In “beauty,” a performance piece originally performed in Lagos in April, Ogunji includes African-American women from different backgrounds being brought together by a physical element that connects them all — their hair. Performers will have their hair woven into one braid Wednesday at UT and will remain standing with their hair connected for four hours."
