Alayo Akinkugbe is currently reading history of art at Cambridge University, having grown up in Lagos, Nigeria. After studying she hopes to become a curator, whilst pushing the globalization of African Art.
We met Alayo on Instagram, through her incredible account @ablackhistoryofart – which highlights the overlooked Black artists, sitters, curators and thinkers from art history and the present day.
With growing need for reform in terms of diversity in the field of art history, we wanted to hear more from Alayo about her studies of the subject and her aspirations for her future career.
