In this episode, we talk with curator, educator and founder of Black Blossoms School of Art & Culture, Bolanle Tajudeen.
After taking an interest in fashion and creativity at a young age, Bolanle has honed her craft as an artistic creator, promoting and exhibiting the work of black and non-binary visual artists and inspiring others to tackle socio-political change through their creative practices. With sold-out exhibitions and performances in the Tate Modern and Tate Britain and great acclaim from the likes of Vogue, Dazed and the BBC, Bolanle continues to reshape traditional narratives across the world of arts and culture.
In part 1 of this 2 part conversation, we explore her experience as a young black artist in London, how she is decolonising education in the art space and why she believes art and culture can be the ultimate tool for change.
