Omolola
Oyetubo.

Omolola Oyetubo is a first-generation Nigerian-Jamaican American artist, designer, and cultural practitioner whose work spans furniture, objects, exhibitions, and spatial experiences.

Shaped by a life between cultures and a background in cultural anthropology, her practice brings different histories, materials, and ways of gathering into conversation. In 2023, she founded HOUSE OF OYE ↗ as a platform for exhibitions and cultural gatherings. AGBOLÉ OYÈ extends these inquiries into collectible design.

Central to her work is the idea of Fourth Spaces: environments in which the distinct identities, histories, and forms of knowledge that people carry can meet and coexist. Her interests in neuroarchitecture and neurodesign further consider how proportion, material, and space influence the body and our experience of one another.

Influenced by Afro-now-ism ↗, developed by artist Stephanie Dinkins ↗, she approaches African and diasporic knowledge as something living rather than fixed: a resource for making in the present and imagining alternative futures.

Her inaugural chair system, DÂ-NIYI ↗, explores how individual forms can create conditions for collective life.
