Thrilled to introduce Chi Nwosu, our inaugural #ArtistinResidence! Chi (them/they) is a Black, nonbinary, queer Nigerian artist whose work invites us to imagine collective liberation, shaped by kinship & histories of international resistance.

Read the full Q&A:

Off-white background with a photo of Chi Nwosu in the center, with a yellow border. At the top is black text that reads, “Meet our first Artist-in-Residence: Chi Nwosu.” Surrounding their photo are images of their artwork. The Third Wave Fund logo is in the bottom right.

🌊 Resistance is only natural! We’re channeling $3.7M+ to QTBIPOC-led movements in 2025.

Become a new monthly donor & receive a set of gorgeous stickers by #ArtistinResidence Chi Nwosu! Let resources flow to sustain the fight for gender justice: bit.ly/donatetwf2025
An image of a hand holding the sticker, as well as two other TWF stickers. At the top it says, “All monthly donors can get this sticker set,” and at the bottom it says, “Join us or give twice this month.” Art by Chi Nwosu featuring plants and animals from many of the places TWF’s team and grantee partners are from, with a crashing ocean wave enveloping them. Blue text at the top says, “Deepen your solidarity,” and below the illustrations it says, “let resources flow.” The TWF logo is in the bottom middle.
