Reclaiming the Archive with Estheo Oladimeji

Join artist Estheo Oladimeji for a drop-in workshop exploring the use of reproduced archive material to create double-sided postcards.

This reflects on histories that have been preserved and imagines the futures you want to carry forward into your own personal and collective archives. The workshop invites you to think about memory as something active, collective, and continuously evolving.

You can contribute your creation to a growing living archive created throughout the evening.

Archival references include publicly accessible materials from the V&A collections and Iniva archive.

About the Artist:
Estheo Oladimeji is a London-based photographer and artist working across sound and moving image. She explores light, liminality, and unseen spaces in her work. Across formats, her practice is grounded in storytelling and documenting the everyday spaces and experiences that exist between cultures and complexity. Weaving together personal and collective narratives, her work explores archiving, diasporic memory, spirituality, and the ways lived experiences can follow multiple, fluid, and non-linear narratives.

Her work has appeared in Cambridge Language Collective and has been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Bomb Factory Art Foundation, and Brunswick Art Gallery. She is currently a Future Artist at Somerset House, expanding her multidisciplinary practice through intersecting narratives that sustain and shape one another.
