Dr. Imo Nse Imeh is a Nigerian-American visual artist and scholar of African Diaspora art. Presently, he is Associate Professor of Art and Art History at Westfield State University in Massachusetts. He is a Columbia University alumnus, and received his Masters and Doctoral degrees in Art History from Yale University in 2009.

Dr. Imeh leverages his practice of visual art and research in art history to investigate historical and philosophical issues around the Black body and cultural identity. He has made contributions to visual arts discourse with publications, lectures, and provoking studio art projects that interrogate the ways in which Black bodies are imagined, installed, ritualized, and transformed. His artworks are in the collection of the University Museum of Contemporary, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA, the collection of Danny Simmons and the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art.
