, the recent survey of British-Caribbean art at Tate Britain, got Folawiyo – whose early years were divided between London and Lagos, Nigeria – mulling about the expansive relationship that art from the African diaspora can have with time. “The past, the present, and the future are all very intertwined” in much of that work, she says. “And so I was just thinking about these ideas of layers and multiplicity and artists that work in that manner.
For the exhibition last fall, Folawiyo invited Turiya Adkins, Chinaza Agbor, Oluwatobiloba Ajayi, Ayo Akingbade, Ayoade Bamgboye, Dana Cavigny, Eva Diallo, Helena Foster, Daëna Ladéesse, Olukemi Lijadu, Emmanuelle Loca-Gisquet, Fadekemi Ogunsanya, Isabel Okoro, Irene Antonia Diane Reece, and Agnes Waruguru to participate – a group of 15 young and emerging artists working in sculpture, painting, photography, and collage.
“Faridah and I actually met through Instagram,” explains Adkins, who contributed work to both versions of. “The main basis [of the show] was that she wanted to have Black women’s creations all in one place, which I really loved.
