Justice Nnanna

Justice Nnanna is a Nigerian-American multidisciplinary artist and director. He graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and studied theater at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. Nnanna’s work is predominantly inspired by non-fiction and explores ways of seeing social-political experiences. He is interested in discovering the cross-cultural effects of globalization, using non-verbal methods of communication to comment on the contemporary human experience. His work during his mid-twenties revolved around understanding the African diaspora.

In 2019, Nnanna’s work was presented at the UN Women’s Council, the Brooklyn Film Festival, the Chale Wote Street Art Festival in Accra, the Red Bull Music Festival in Los Angeles, Artspace in Connecticut, the Block Museum of Art in Chicago, the New York University Forum for Health in Theatre in NYC, and the Lagos Biennial in Nigeria.

In the same year, he won a SIMA (Social Impact Media Award) for his short documentary “Megolonyo: With a Mother You Are Rich.” The film tells the story of Konye Ki Cingi, a Ugandan Women’s Empowerment Group, initiated by female survivors of the Northern Ugandan War.
