ABOUT
CV

Pelumi Sokunbi is a photographer and interdiscplinary artist whose 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. 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.

b. 2003 in Lagos, Nigeria
