August Interjection: REGISTRATION: Notes after Christina Sharpe’s Ordinary Notes by Rosa-Johan Uddoh

Rosa-Johan Uddoh (b. Croydon) is an interdisciplinary artist working towards radical self-love, inspired by Black feminist practice and writing. Through performance, writing, film and multimedia installation, she explores the effects of specific places, objects and characters in popular culture, on self-formation. Using humour, parody and collaboration, she appropriates popular media formats to critically engage people often excluded from Art. Rosa was shortlisted for the Jarman Award 2022 for her film-making. Her work has been profiled in publications including Art Monthly, New York Times and Nordic Art Review. Her first book Practice Makes Perfect was published by Book Works and Focal Point Gallery in 2022.
