Aisha Seriki
September 2 - October 1, 2026Aisha Olamide Seriki (b. 1998) is a Nigerian-British multidisciplinary artist, specialising in fine art photography and sculpture. Her process-led practice investigates tensions that arise when opposing forces intersect. Her practice is holistic and embodied, subverting formal photographic traditions. Cosmological systems such as the Yoruba Spiritual Tradition have informed the multi sensory approach Seriki has to documentation, communication, and creation. Through optics and trickery, she challenges the rigid imagination of self, creating space in the archive for a wider definition. Through her exploration of materiality and sculpture, she examines the photograph as a haptic object, resisting the notion of photography as purely visual.
In 2023, she was awarded the Frank Bowling Scholarship and completed the Photography MA at the Royal College of Art. The following year, she earned her MFA in Fine Arts and Humanities. Aisha’s project Orí Inú received the RCA’s New Photography Prize, the SW Darkroom Award, and the inaugural JM Finn Graduate Artist Award (2023). In May 2024, she won the V&A Parasol Foundation Prize for Women in Photography. By April 2025, Aisha had been selected for the RCA BLK x G.A.S residency at the G.A.S Foundation, Lagos, Nigeria.
