Introducing Tomilola Olumide @tomilolaolumideart✨️ an Artist and @rca_contemporaryartpractice 2025 Graduate from the @royalcollegeofart Tomilola Olumide is a London-based Nigerian Contemporary Artist, Writer and Researcher whose practice documents memory and identity through autobiographical work informed by her formative years in Lagos, Nigeria. Working interdisciplinarily, she explores her subjects through tactile engagement with materials and the activation of muscle memory, creating process-led works that span installation, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, metalwork, literature, performance, and painting. She uses materials as intimate extensions of self, including personal memorabilia, natural fibres, found objects, jesmonite, and clay. Her recent material interests and explorations in glass and copper metal have deepened her research into ceramic and jewellery crafts, such as kiln-cast vitreous enamel work and silversmithing, evident in her project Ìnù mí dùn (2025).  Tomilola earned her Master’s in Contemporary Art Practice from the Royal College of Art and her Bachelor’s in Fine Art from the @uni_southampton @uni_southampton_wsa. She was awarded the RCA Sir @frankbowlingstudio Scholarship and the @sohohouse @creativefuturescollective Global Fellowship. Olumide is the Founder of @efunsiku_incubator an African-centred interdisciplinary creative incubator project aimed at supporting African creatives and those across its diaspora. She actively served the @RCAAfrica Society as a committee member, working across curation, publications, and public relations for its community.  __________________________ Artwork in this post © All rights reserved by Tomilola Olumide
