Based between Lagos and Berlin
Jere is a Lagos/Berlin-based artist working with performance, and immersive art to examine infrastructure, hyper-identity, marginalized histories, memory and the socio-political landscapes of cities, notably Lagos and Berlin, through installations that recontextualize public and personal archives. A practice with participatory performances, audiovisual elements, XR creating layered, interactive narratives highlighting informal resilience and individual stories. Jere’s artworks blur the line between physical and digital, the past, present, and future, creating a non-linear blend that presents a critical exploration of existing archives and a reimagination of public spaces (physical and digital).
Jere is a Magnum Foundation Fellow, a Digital Earth Fellow as well as a World Press Photo grantee and has been selected for the Lagos-Berlin Artist/Curator residency 2021, the Dekoloniale Berlin Residency 2023 as well as 2025 Artist and Scientist in Residence at Ligetizentrum Hamburg. Jere’s work has been shown at the Uferstudios by Tanzfabrik Berlin, Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, 5th Odessa Biennale of Contemporary Art, International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), Durban, the 11th Bienal do Mercosul, Porto Alegre, Savvy contemporary, Berlin, Hong-Gah Museum, Taiwan, ZKU Berlin, 2nd Lagos Biennale and Museum Rietberg, Zurich amongst others.
Jere is a member of the curatorial collective Tantdile Xperimenta Lab with work that advocates for intersectional visibility, challenging conventional histories through community-driven storytelling and immersive experiences.
