Bio

Omayeli Arenyeka is a Nigerian artist and technologist currently based in San Francisco. She’s interested in the intersection of technology, art, and activism. Her work aims to use writing, data, code, and satire as tools to foster disillusionment with our current realities. She’s an alum of the School for Poetic Computation and the Recurse Center. Her latest work, The Gendered Project, is a growing library of gendered words in the English dictionary. It aims to provide data to use in our ongoing dialogue about sexism and how it permeates every facet of our daily lives, all the way down to the words we use.
