YUNG YEMI
Yung Yemi is a Toronto-based multi-disciplinary artist whose practice aims to examine the intersectionality of Black identity. Reflecting on Black culture ideologies from pre-colonial, present day and future timelines; across regions, religions, varying levels of invoice and political lines, Yung Yemi examines the dichotomy of the richness of Black experiences with the imposed societal homogeneity of ‘Blackness’. Through his work, Yung Yemi pulls from these varying elements to create Afrofuturistic portraits embody themes of history, fantasy, speculative futures, and spirituality.
