Jenn Nkiru is a visionary artist and director from Peckham, London. Through her documentaries, short films, and commercial work, Nkiru seeks to merge art and pop culture.

A frequent collaborator with Beyoncé, her latest project for the singer won her a Grammy Award for Best Music Video for her work on Beyoncé's "Brown Skin Girl. Jenn's collaboration on the visual design of the album, as well as directing one of the album's tracks, brought her worldwide visibility and popularity.

Recent collaborations include the new Facebook ad "I am Beautiful" in support of people who are judged or feel different in the eyes of society.

At the same time, Jenn's personal work has shifted to making short films. Her documentary Black To Techno, commissioned by Frieze and Gucci, is an exploration of the Techno culture of Detroit and Berlin, showing the influence of the people, energy, industrialization, geography and politics of these two cities on the genre.
