'Obodo Sketch Study 06' is a drawing by Chiizii of Anambra State located in the southeastern region of Nigeria. It is informed by a paper that explores why and how people sometimes change their food habits in situations of colonial contact. More info: chiizii.cargo.site/SKETCH-06

This collage by @Chiiziitheartist is the result of research into the African oil bean seed and its edible, medicinal and industrial processes. The food condiment is native to Eastern Nigeria. Explore her archive of Igbo food culture: chiizii.cargo.site/TECH-FOLDER-1 #igbo #nigeria

We continue highlighting some of the research uncovered through @chiiziitheartist's archive Nni Bu Ogwu with this drawing. It references a late 19th-century photograph of an Igbo girl preparing food discovered by the artist on Ụkpụrụ̄, a blog of historical images of the Igbo.

Chiizii's archive Nni Bu Ogwu is a resource designed to encourage conversation around pre and post-colonial Igbo diets. This particular piece draws from several sources including a research paper and catalogue of ethnomedicinal plant resources of South Eastern Nigeria. #igbo
