Hello,

My name is Rose Nneoma Abba. I studied global intellectual and colonial history, comparative literature and critical theory across institutions in Wales, London, and Oxford, then began my career in Abuja/Lagos as an independent researcher, writer, and artist exploring how Nigerians make a living, find belonging, and create meaning in their lives.

I now live in Enugu, where I run Studio Styles, my art and research practice/workshop. Through Studio Styles, I have produced projects such as the Restful, an anthology of Nigerian reflections (2025), and the Sweet Medicine podcast (2024).

While I study patterns across Nigerian society broadly, I study middle-class Enugu particularly as a way to find and feel my belonging in it. My photo and literary documentary projects on it cover architecture and design, youth experience, archives, gardening, industrial infrastructure, religious culture, family, personal experience, and aesthetics of everyday life.
