Site-specific architectural drawing—concept studies and wall mockups.
Our Vision
To establish Marcia Kure Studio as a leader in research-based drawing and material practice
that integrates African knowledge systems, sustainable materials, and digital innovation,
working at the nexus of aesthetic practice, knowledge infrastructures, and the polity.
Our Mission
Drawing, as a tactile and conceptual language, inscribes and disrupts—tracing codes of
power and labor across the body, land, and archive. As epistemic cartography, it makes
visible the infrastructures that govern matter and meaning, moving between mark and code
to frame the line as critique and method.
About Marcia Kure
Developing a sculptural installation that expands drawing into material networks (artificial
hair, wax, pearls, wood) toward V B 2026. Suggested images: maquettes, material tests,
braiding assemblies.
Marcia Kure Studio is a research-driven drawing practice working between Nigeria and the
United States. Anchored in drawing as inscription and knowledge, the studio engages
material experimentation (indigo, hair, wood, wax) and computational inquiry (AI/glyph
systems) to study how identity, memory, labor, and power circulate through networks of
trade, technology, and ecology. Outcomes range from large-scale drawings and sculptures to
installations and research artifacts.
We work through every aspect at the planning
Our company history and facts
Founded by artist-researcher Marcia Kure, the studio evolved from a drawing practice into
a research lab for inscription, materials, and systems. Early works focused on drawing’s
ontology; subsequent projects incorporated material languages (indigo, hair, wood) and
computational inquiry (Encoded Earth). Current work includes Network V and forthcoming
site-specific wall drawings.

Drawing & Research
Drawing functions as both gesture and method—analyzing and refiguring systemic
networks (trade, labor, memory) through mark-making, materials, and code.
Material Practice
Research into indigo, kola, charcoal, hair, wax, pearls, and wood emphasizes ethical
sourcing, ecological awareness, and cultural histories embedded in materials.
