Ayo Akingbade
Ayo Akingbade works predominantly with film and installation to address themes of power, urbanism, and stance.
Her work has often documented experiences of rapid social change in London, where she was born and raised. It has recently been shown at Barbican Centre, London and International Film Festival Rotterdam. Her first major solo institutional exhibition, “Show Me The World Mister”, opened at Chisenhale Gallery, London in November 2022 and is touring until 2024, venues include Spike Island, Bristol and the Whitworth, University of Manchester.
