Alexandria Eregbu is a creative anthropologist. Her dynamic practice spans across art, music, education, justice, and the humanities in order to consider stories, objects, and experiences that dignify Black life. As the founder of FINDING IJEOMA, Alexandria uses her curatorial platform to uplift communities and enhance the conditions in which women and children may lead, thrive, and participate in new forms of abundance within daily life. Alexandria references Afrosurrealist discourse, archives, oral narratives, and craft traditions to both interpret and call into question omissions of femme, Afro, and indigenous histories in pedagogy in the United States. Currently, Alexandria serves as a lecturer at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Department of Fiber & Material Studies.
