Pelumi Sokunbi’s work explores the intersections of personal and collective memory within the context of the Black experience. Through a critical engagement with material, space, object, language, image, and the body, Sokunbi investigates alternative frameworks for autonomy, identity, and spatial belonging. His practice considers how Black people navigate visibility, presence, and agency in response to both historical and ongoing systems of erasure. Working within photography, sculpture, painting, installation, and video, Sokunbi foregrounds diasporic consciousness and embodied knowledge as vital strategies for pathways between temporal boundaries, allowing space for shifting, fluid interactions with existence, history, and theory.
