Three African Artists Portraying Queer Love In Their Practice

For Pride Month, we are spotlighting these three African artists who depict expressions of queer identity in their artistic practice.

Sola Olulode

Born in 1996, Sola Olulode is a British-Nigerian artist who creates delicate portrayals of queer love through her figurative works. Her work offers intimate depictions of Black queer identity, often adopting a gestural style that emphasises the importance of the body.
