Tomilola Olumide is a Nigerian Multidisciplinary Artist who documents autobiographical assemblages and personal history narratives, chronicling identity, memory, emotional landscapes and experimentation of materials and subjects inspired by her upbringing in Lagos, Nigeria and her navigation of life in adulthood. Tomilola works interdisciplinarily across mediums like sculpture, new media, painting, performance and literature, and uses materials from found objects to personal memorabilia, textile fabrics, plaster, paint and her physical body as objects, expressions of medium and explorations of tactile memory, intimacy, sensuality and aesthetics between herself and subjects. Olumide studied Fine Art at the University of Southampton and is based in the UK. Her recent projects include Wa wọ | Spot VR Residency at Stryx Gallery (2023), Pressure x Walk | (Algo|Afro) Futures at Vivid Projects (2023), Moving to Words at Eastside Projects (2023).
