Join us in giving a warm welcome to our October Mentorship Artists in Residence: Funlola Coker (Local) and Adebunmi Gbadebo (National)!

Funlola and Adebunmi share craft based practices rooted in sculptural experimentation, hybridizing materials, processes, and historical references connected to their respective heritages and broader Nigerian ancestry. Their time in residence provides the space to coalesce around shared artistic languages and new creative explorations.

Funlola Coker is a Massachusetts-based sculptor whose practice utilizes materials and techniques rooted in craft to follow research threads in the realm of recollection, imagination, and the surreal. Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, Coker’s work draws on nostalgic memories to build narrative sculptures in the context of Yoruba cosmology and African futurism.

Adebunmi Gbadebo is a Philadelphia-based artist, working across ceramics, sculpture and installation. Using materials like indigo dye, human hair collected throughout the African diaspora, and soil from the grounds of the True Blue plantation in South Carolina, Gbadebo explores her family’s history of enslavement in the American South through traditional African pottery techniques connected to her Nigerian ancestry.

We can’t wait to see how Funlola and Adebunmi’s time in residence together unfolds.💙 Visit the link in our bio to learn more about each artist and register for their upcoming workshops. 🔗

“Gli alberi in ceramica di Adebunmi Gbadebo, realizzati a spirale, si ispirano ai pini taeda, alcuni degli alberi più alti conosciuti sulla Terra, sotto i quali gli schiavi di questa regione seppellivano i loro cari. L’artista e i suoi parenti si recano spesso nella foresta alla ricerca degli alberi più vecchi, con l’obiettivo di recuperare le lapidi che sono state nascoste di proposito o perse nelle paludi. Così facendo, radicano nuovamente la memoria in luoghi segnati dalla mancanza di libertà. Gbadebo intitola i suoi vasi di argilla in base alle iscrizioni sulle lapidi, definendoli come contenitori di informazioni materiali e sacre.”

“ ’s coil-built ceramic trees recall loblolly pines – some of the tallest known trees on Earth, under which enslaved people in this region buried their loved ones. The artist and her relatives often go to the forest to identify the oldest trees, so as to recover headstones that were either purposefully hidden there or lost to the swamps. In doing so, they re-root memory in places marked by unfreedom. Gbadebo titles her clay vessels after the inscriptions on the headstones, marking them as containers holding material and sacred information.”

“Abstraction has long been a powerful tool for African American artists to express memory, resistance and imagination beyond constraint,” says Shanita Brackett, acting director of the National Museum of African American History.

Now on view, works by Adebunmi Gbadebo are featured in “Revelation: A Journey into Abstraction,” an exhibition exploring the profound range and depth created by Black artists who have contributed to the rich fabric of abstraction, from the mid‑20th century to the present.

I spent the past week with my family celebrating two of my works which opened and were included in the exhibition “Revelations: A Journey into Abstraction,” at our nation’s Smithsonian National Museum ofAfrican American History and Culture aka. To say this is an honor is an understatement. I know my mom would be so proud (and probably made it happened). I’m thankful for so many loved ones who joined me this week to celebrate! Thank you to and for hosting me and being a. Home away from home. I grateful to all of the curators and staff who made this important exhibition possible or who have acquired my work over the years. So many of my art hero’s including Dave Drake who I spoke about in the exhibition catalog have paved the way and it’s an honor to be sharing space. In a time when our voices are being diminished and silenced I’m proud to be in an institution and in an exhibition that celebrates the breath of who we be!

I hope you visit the show!

For the Biennale Arte 2026 by Koyo Kouoh, Adebunmi Gbadebo presents an immersive installation rooted in material memory and ancestral resilience. The work honors her ancestor, John Ricem Ravenell, who self-liberated in 1834 from enslavement in the American South to seek refuge in the South Carolina swamplands.

Through ceramic forms and dyed handmade paper, Gbadebo evokes these landscapes of protection. These were spaces where autonomy and cultural practices were sustained against the backdrop of the True Blue Plantation. Her presentation stands as a powerful testament to the generative worlds forged in the pursuit of freedom.

I had to take a couple of days to process this experience of being a part of this year's Venice Biennale curated by Koyo Kouoh. I asked my AMAZING La Biennale liaison Luigi who has been with La Biennale since 1994 and has done 26 Biennales, “what made this year's biennale different from the others?” Luigi said, It was the way the artists created community with each other. The way the artists spent time with each other, hanging out, and supported each other. I never seen the artist come together like we did.

I was not blessed and fortunate enough to have known Koyo in this realm but through stories from people who loved and knew her most this theme of community and relationship building seemed to be a recurring theme that was paramount to how Koyo moved. Although Koyo was not physically there to see this year's Biennale through, I believe her spirit of community, solidarity, relationship building, and friendship became the guiding principle that defined us all. I bow my head to the curatorial team who carried this ethos the most. The way you all carried Koyo’s vision was a true example of ancestral work. The team:! Thank you for the way you led and supported us all! you should get the Golden lion for the way you support so many of us with such grace and joy! My family and I thank you! The installers, organizers, everyone thank you! This could not have been possible without all of you.

And the artists, an art education could not have taught me the lessons I have learned by just witnessing and fellowshipping with you all. I am forever grateful and changed because of this experience! Love you all! Thank you Koyo who was with us from another realm and showed us how to be a harmonious island of Minor Keys! 💙
