Visiting Artist: Àdéjọ́ke Àdéronke Túgbíyélé
Àdéjọ́ke Àdéronke Túgbíyélé's practice explores queer Yoruba aesthetics, challenges homophobia and stands in solidarity with the notion that "Queer Love is Not UnAfrican!" Her work reveals how Yoruba philosophy embodies parallel conceptual frameworks that exist within Taoist, Buddhist and Hindu thought. Through the concept of ‘Visible/Invisible,’ she engages multiple dualities while simultaneously exploring ideas of flight, transformation and transcendence. Her practice weaves both art and architecture reveals clear links between classical Yoruba and Ancient Nubian aesthetics.
RIT's School of Art is hosting her for an artist talk and Q-and-A at 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 5, in Wegmans Theater (MAGIC Spell Studios). All are welcome to attend.
