Undeclared Heritage

Démo Àjòké

Visual artist

Ibadan, Nigeria

Funmilayo Tejumola, who signs her works as Démo Àjòké, is a Nigerian visual artist based in Ibadan. Her figurative painting explores African history, cultural memory, identity and the ways traditions shape the present and future. She holds a B.A. in Fine Art from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and an M.A. in African and Diaspora Studies from the University of Lagos. Where Blackness is often painted in dark tones, she paints it in bold colour. She does so to "celebrate our heritage, express cultural pride, and tell stories that reflect the richness of who we are."
