Abigail Akindude

Abigail is a Jamaican/Nigerian American interdisciplinary artist and fabricator whose practice explores the complexities of Black life. Akindude uses an array of materials to create visual narratives as a form of activism. She draws inspiration from her life experiences and the overlooked stories of the diaspora she has been impacted by. Contrasting forms and textures are meant to investigate these feelings and experiences. She studied at Hunter College-CUNY where she received a BA in psychology as well as Brooklyn College-CUNY where she received a BFA in studio art. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
