Fatimah Tuggar

Fatimah Tuggar (1967- ) is a Nigerian multidisciplinary artist raised in the United Kingdom and based in the United States. Her work uses technology as both medium and subject to serve as metaphors for power dynamics. She pulls from the language of advertisement, popular entertainment, and folklore to explore the implications of technology.  Also a teacher, challenging the segregated borders of aesthetics and cultural perceptions and facilitating diverse ways of knowing, making, and contributing is critical to her practice.  Tuggar studied at Blackheath School of Art in London. She received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and received her MFA in sculpture at Yale University in 1995.
