Evan Ifekoya was born in Iperu, Nigeria in 1988, earning a BA in Fine Art New Media from Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton (2010), followed by an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from the Royal College of Art (2017). Identifying as 'they', Ifekoya examines the politics of culture, society, and aesthetics through various media, including sound, text, video, and performance, spotlighting marginalised voices, challenging dominant power structures, and exploring Black queer histories. Their work often interlaces personal experiences with broader cultural narratives, shedding light on issues such as gender dynamics, racial identities, and technological influences in modern life. Ifekoya's art bridges the past with the present, emphasising the significance of shared experiences and histories.
