Ego Ahaiwe Sowinski is an artist and archivist currently completing a PhD at Chelsea College of Arts and Tate. Ahaiwe Sowinski’s practice is grounded in Black feminisms, DIY Queer culture/s, and her research explores the synergy between (self)archiving as a curatorial method and artistic practice. She is the author of Ronald Moody: Sculpting Life (Thames & Hudson, 2024), co-editor of Mirror Reflecting Darkly: The Rita Keegan Archive (Goldsmiths Press, 2021) and contributing author to The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2024). Her writing and photography has been included in the Feminist Review and British Art Studies journals, and Hyperallergic and MN Artists online platforms.
Alongside art historian Alexandra Nicome she is currently part of the archival and curatorial team for The Black Gate, a radical archival legacy project founded by multidisciplinary artist Seitu K. Jones.
