Wura-Natasha Ogunji (b. 1970, St Louis USA) is a visual artist and performer. Her works include paintings, videos and public performances. She is deeply inspired by the daily interactions and frequencies that occur in the city of Lagos, Nigeria, where she currently lives. Ogunji's performances explore the presence of women in public space; these often include investigations of labour, leisure, freedom and frivolity.

Ogunji was an Artist-Curator for the 33rd São Paulo Bienal where her large-scale performance Days of Being Free premiered. She has also exhibited at: Palais de Tokyo; The Lagos Biennial; Kochi-Muziris Biennale; Stellenbosch Triennale; Seattle Art Museum; Brooklyn Art Museum; and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark. Ogunji is a recipient of the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and has received grants from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation; The Dallas Museum of Art; and the Idea Fund. Ogunji's works are in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; The Baltimore Museum of Art; Smithsonian National Museum of African Art; International African American Museum, Charleston; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark; North Dakota Museum of Art; The University of Texas at Austin; Marieluise Hessel Collection, Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College; and Kadist Foundation.
