Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju is a Nigerian-American artist and writer based in Berlin. Working across painting, writing, performance and installation, she balances intimate experiences of connection, violence, and healing against broader observations of cultural distortion and identity. She graduated with distinction from New York University, where she studied studio art and social and cultural analysis. She is also an alumna of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and BPA// Berlin program for artists. Her debut collection of writing, Earnestly, was published in 2022 by Archive Books.
