ARTISTS
i.as.in.we is the wayward, motile collaboration between artists Rohan Ayinde and Yewande YoYo Odunubi. Working across mediums and between individual practices, their work explores the relationship between source material and final output, experimenting with different modes of translation, citation, assemblage, and collaborative improvisation as methods of enquiry. Grounded in shared explorations of Black feminist thought, speculative imagination, and embodied practice, they generate an unfolding landscape, which they’ve termed the “b/Black Expansive Imagination.” Through their exploration of material and movement, their work drifts between text, movement, mark-making, video, and curatorial projects, seeking to develop language(s) that might help us understand new ways of being/becoming in this world.
Rohan is an anadisciplinary artist and poet who, through an entanglement with the phenomenon of the black hole, attempts to excavate an architecture of ideology through the analytical framework of black feminist thought. Their work investigates how the politics of place is shaped by conceptual positions.
Yewande is an artist and cultural producer whose practice revolves around the inquiry, “What does the body need to dream?” She draws on freestyle-improvisation as both choreographic and pedagogical methods to experiment with the body’s present and imagined possibilities.
