麻豆约拍

Portrait photography has given Edinburgh-based artist Tayo Adekunkle a creative, educational way to negotiate her history as a black woman. After spending time reading about a series of colonial photographs taken in late 19th-century Paris, Tayo was left distressed by the lack of agency afforded to the black women in the photos. For her final year project at university, Tayo decided to take self-portraits and place herself in these images as a way of reclaiming the space and rediscovering her own body along the way.
