Biography //
Diana Agunbiade-Kolawole is an artist whose work is inspired and expresses the fabric of everyday life. She utilises lens and non-lens based photography in installations, performances, prints and moving image. She is interested in producing work where the outcome is defined or rather informed by the process itself. She explores the materiality and the different processes to re-examine what photography is within this current generation.
She is a lecturer in photography at the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, Sweden, where she received her MFA and spent a year at the Ecole National Superiere des Beaux-Arts in Paris after completing her BA in Photography at Kingston University. She was selected as a British ambassador for UK/CHINA 400, an exchange of future leaders, China, 2009; Louis Vuitton Young Arts Project Summer Academy, 2010; Multiplicidade Festival, Brazil, 2013; Artist-in-Residence with Gary Steward and AF Rodrigues for Becontree Hundred, part of the 2012 Olympic Game cultural legacy in 2015.
