Photography since he graduated from the Arts Department of the University

of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1997. He was the gallery manager at the African

Foundation for the Arts, Lagos, and taught Art at The Whitesands School,

Lagos. In 2007, he wrote for the art desk of The Comet Newspapers,

Lagos. His essays on art have appeared in books and exhibition catalogs.

His writing career led to him creating a blog in 2008.

Anthony's works ask questions of nationality, migration, and black identity.

With a focus on the Black experience, his works delve into childhood

memories of community, festivals, and rituals, celebrating shared spaces in

Africa. The works become witness to a conscious inclusion in the

performative arts. An avid traveler, he is fascinated by all the international

cultural conversations.

His works have been exhibited extensively in Nigeria and internationally,

appearing in art fairs ArtX Lagos, the New York Art Fair, the Dak’ Art

Biennale, Senegal, etc. Anthony has frequently participated in the last two

decades of exhibitions of the works of artists from the new Uli School, the

name ascribed to the works of artists who studied at the University of

Nigeria, Nsukka)

Since 2020, Anthony Nsofor set up studios in the USA. He became a

resident artist at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in 2022 and was elected

Vice President of the Board of the Torpedo Factory Artists’ Association in

2023.
