About In Conversation with Tayo Adekunle - with Christian Noelle Charles

Tayo Adekunle (b.1997) is a Nigerian-British visual artist from West Yorkshire, based in London. Using predominantly portraiture and self-portraiture, her work explores issues surrounding race, gender and sexuality. In an interrogation of racial and colonial history, her work is centered around reworking tropes and narratives about black people and black culture. Tayo received her BA(Hons) in Photography at Edinburgh College of Art in 2020. Since then she has been an artist in residence at institutions around the UK including the Southbank Center in London, Leeds Playhouse in Leeds, Hospitalfield in Arbroath, Dundee and Edinburgh Printmakers in Edinburgh.
Christian Noelle Charles is a Black Female Artist currently living and working in Glasgow, Scotland. A Syracuse, New York native, Christian's work is an exploration of female representation and self-love in a contemporary world. She has acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Cooper Union in New York City and a Master of Fine Arts at the Glasgow School of Art. She has presented works with Tramway and CCA in Glasgow, South London Gallery in London, and the Bangkok Art & Culture Center in Bangkok, Thailand.
