SYDNEY OREOLUWA (b. 1995, St. Louis, MO), born Sydney Oreoluwa Ojeikere, is a Nigerian-American artist and curator based in St. Louis, Missouri.

Her art practice brings together art, design, and film photography to amplify Black experiences while documenting the beauty, complexity, and nostalgia embedded within personal and collective histories.

Through her work and ongoing personal project, Circa 1998, Sydney explores how storytelling and the preservation of memories can serve as both an archive and a mirror of Black life.

Her work has been exhibited at The Luminary, Wildfruit Projects, The Red Gate Gallery, Sophie’s Artist Lounge, and UrbArts in St. Louis. In 2025, she participated in the panel discussion If It Wasn’t for the Women: Art of Living at the Saint Louis Art Museum.

Her curatorial practice extends her interest in memory, storytelling, and cultural preservation through exhibitions and programming that create space for artists to share their stories and connect with their communities. Her latest curatorial project, MEMORY/MOMENTUM, is an ongoing exhibition and publication platform centering St. Louis artists and their personal histories, honoring the past while actively building something living and ongoing.

Sydney earned her bachelor’s degree from Earlham College, where she majored in Global Management and minored in Studio Art.
