Art, Research, and Narrative w/ Atinuke Osibogun-Adeleke

Open to the public

Join us for an artist lecture led by artist and jeweler, Atinuke Adeleke. Centered on the convergence of studio practices and conceptual exploration, Atinuke will share her concepts, her making process, and her art’s connection to personal narrative. Half artist bio and half informative methods in research, this lecture centers on her lived experience as a Nigerian who has traversed three continents and how it feeds into the crafting of her work.

Atinuke Osibogun-Adeleke is an interdisciplinary artist and a graduate of the University of North Texas. As the owner and lead designer of the home and body adornment brand, Zuri Perle, she channels her artistic vision into captivating creations that blend tradition with innovation.

Her artistic practice revolves around themes of personal history, connection, and identity, reflecting her journey as a Nigerian who has traversed three continents. Atinuke’s work explores the deconstruction, reassembly, and hybridization of her identity through sculpture and fiber pieces. These creations seamlessly integrate the traditional culture and practices of her homeland, Nigeria, with western woodworking techniques and modern processes such as CAD, 3D printing, and CNC routing.
