Born 1998 in Innsbruck, Austria, Uzochukwu grew up in Luxembourg and Belgium.

In 2021, he was nominated for Prix Pictet for In The Wake, a body of work on Black bodies and ravaged nature.

Uzochukwu lives in Berlin, where he is currently studying Philosophy and Cultural Studies at Humboldt University. His photography has has been exhibited in group shows at Bozar (BE), V&A (UK), Bamako Encounters — African Biennale of Photography (ML), Triennial of Photography Hamburg (DE), and MOCA Toronto (CA), while his short films and video installations screened at Max Ophüls Preis (DE) and Copenhagen Documentary Film Festival (DK).
