About the Session
This session will take the form of an artist talk with space for discussion, focusing on Seyi Adelekun’s creative process as collaborative world-building. Seyi will share how ideas develop into installation-based work through relationships with site, materials, living systems, and collaborators, including artists and communities. The talk will explore both practical and conceptual challenges of multidisciplinary working, offering students insight into how installation-making can be a relational and responsive practice that evolve through dialogue, experimentation and care.
About Seyi Adelekun
Seyi Adelekun is a London-based interdisciplinary artist of Yoruba-Nigerian heritage. Their practice serves as a medium for archiving and disseminating ancestral wisdom. Weaving together installation, performance, ritual, and sound art, their work acts as a tool for world-building liberatory futures. Rooted in embodied and oral knowledge, Seyi’s practice explores eco-spirituality as a form of resistance against environmental racism. Through somatic movement and land-based practices, they facilitate spaces for diverse ways of knowing and relating, inviting collaboration and collective awareness to honour the interwoven histories of people and ecosystems.
Seyi has exhibited at South London Gallery, London Festival of Architecture, KLA ART Festival, Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail, and London Design Festival. They have completed residencies at G.A.S. Foundation, Iniva / Stuart Hall Library, and 32 Degrees East. As well as facilitated workshops for the Barbican Centre and produced projects with Assemble Studio and Artangel on Steve McQueen’s Year 3.
