Biography
Sokari Douglas Camp was born in 1958 in Buguma, Nigeria. She received her BA at the Central School of Art and Design in London and her MA at the Royal College of Art. Her work is predominately sculpted in steel and takes inspiration from her Kalabari heritage as well as other aspects of African culture.
She has had more than 40 solo shows worldwide in venues such as the National Museum of African Art at the Smithsonian Institute, the British Museum, and the Setagaya Museum in Tokyo, all of which acquired her works for their permanent collections. In 2003, Sokari’s NO-O-War No-O-War-R was shortlisted for the Trafalgar Square Fourth Plinth; two years later, she was awarded a CBE in recognition of her services to art. Other projects include All the World is Now Richer, a memorial to commemorate the abolition of slavery which was exhibited in The House of Commons.
