Aislinn Finnegan was born to Northern-Irish and Zambian parents in Zimbabwe in 1996. She initially studied Textiles at Manchester School of Art, soon shifting to Illustration as she felt she was more drawn to the immediacy of drawing (2015–2018). Her illustrations investigate complex perspectives on issues of race, identity, and femininity and she centres Black womxn in her work, through an Afro-futurist lens, to address their underrepresentation in both media and the art world.
