Biography
Tami Soji-Akinyemi’s process-led works are imbued with an evolving symbology rooting in her research into the poetics of agency within blackness, womanhood and spirituality, and its influences on mark-making. Central to her practice are marks like the ‘puncture’, as diagrammatic and dramaturgic devices for mapping, undoing and remaking power dynamics between material and immaterial - enacting agentic marks with meaning at the intersections of image, language and matter.
