Exploring the intersections of textile, video, sound and sculpture, Gbenga draws from the parallels between traditional Yoruba cultural practices and the innovative craftsmanship of mid-20th-century queer and black American communities. Gbenga’s practice builds on ancestral traditions of batik, quilting and cult imagery by implementing modern techniques like digital manipulation and assemblage.
