TAMI SOJI - AKINYEMI

Biography

Tami Soji-Akinyemi’s process-led works are imbued with an evolving symbology of mark-making, rooted in the poetics of agency. Her research explores the enactment and meaning of marks at the intersections of image, language and matter. Marks like the ‘puncture’, serve as diagrammatic and dramaturgic devices for mapping, undoing and remaking power dynamics; marks witness, withhold and encode nested narratives, unearthing connections between the immaterial and material worlds.
