Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju is a Nigerian-American artist and writer based in Berlin. Working across painting, writing, performance and installation, she balances intimate experiences of connection, violence, and healing against broader considerations of cultural distortion and identity. She graduated with distinction from New York University, where she studied studio art and social and cultural analysis. She is also an alumna of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She has contributed to curatorial and editorial projects of SAVVY Contemporary and Archive Books, among others. Earnestly (2022, Archive Books) is her debut collection of writing. She is currently a participant in the BPA// Berlin program for artists.
