Description
Additional Info.

Working predominantly with self-portraiture, Tayo Adekunle’s practice explores both the historical and contemporary commodification, fetishisation and sexualisation of the black female body; what bell hooks (1992) called ‘eating the other’. Specifically, she has been working in response to colonial anthropometric photography as well as ethnographic expositions and world’s fairs. Such events serve as one of numerous examples of how the black body was commodified and made into a spectacle because of its physical difference; in the past and in the present.

Adekunle’s daring and critical work in Tales from an Absent Truth will engage the public in critical discourse surrounding colonial history and race theory - something that remains at the heart of this exhibition.

Join us on 24th May, 6-10pm for drinks, jollof rice and Rare Treat on the decks. RSVP to louis@studiochapple.com.
