BlackFest Festival 2021: Visual Arts Launch


Opening night 18th September 7-9pm.

Gold Maria Akanbi is a British-Nigerian, neurodiverse multidisciplinary artist whose work spans across many mediums and themes in order to create a full and immersive body of work to enrapture and take command of the senses of their audience.

Though in recent times she has been more involved with performance art, her work integrates a wide range of disciplines in order to better explore concepts such as Afrofuturism, the re-conceptualization of worlds, social and environmental ecologies for healing, epigenetic trauma, architecture, spirituality, quantum mechanics, geometric abstraction and sensory overload. Using various mediums and formats such as painting, muralism, installation, performance, interactive media, filmmaking, book-making, spoken word and poetry.

The various disciplines she uses to tackle such concepts take shape in the form of performance art, interactive media, film, photography, poetry, painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, muralism, and installation. Her numerous disciplines act as interdependent ecologies, that are used to create whole worlds.
